This is a
very debatable topic. People argue about that a lot of times. Imagine you are
having a great time with your family. You invited all your aunts, cousins,
uncles and family friends to your house. Everyone is talking, eating and
laughing. But you don’t give priority to that time and take out your camera and
start taking pictures of everyone. The whole talking and laughing change to
people getting dress up and trying to look good for the pictures. Do you need
to take pictures when you are having a great time? Here are some key facts that you need to bear in your mind when
deciding if you want to do family photography or live in those moments.

Do you want to show-off?
So you and your family went to hiking, or your family had a big, expensive
dinner in a lavish restaurant. What should it mean to you? You loved your family and had a pleasure going
outside with them and spending time with your parents and siblings. But what it
means to you is that you want to take pictures of you and your family so that
later in the day you will be able to post them on your social media pages. You
intend to get 50+ likes and, even more,
comments on your pictures. Altogether, if I had to conclude this act, you want
to “show-off.” Although this is a very
common practice being common does not
mean it is correct. You have to set your priorities straight. Do not waste the
quality time you luckily got with your family in doing something that does not mean much to you.
What is more Important?
Take a deep breath and calm yourself down. Be honest
and think about it. What do you want? Do you want to have a cheerful outing or
you just want to take pictures during the tour? Pictures are permanent however
people are temporary. In no way, I’m
saying that you should not entirely take pictures. One word to describe what I
am trying to say is prioritizing. See what it means to go out with your family
or cousins. They may stay at your house for just a week. You may never see them
again. Try to live in the moment. Try to give importance to things that are worthy of it.

Make Memories not Pictures
People have an obsession
to capture every other moment. They have a desperate need to take a photo of
whatever is happening. Whether you are eating, playing or even fighting, they
would take a picture of it. These people have cameras or phones attached to their
hands and take them out whenever they feel the necessity for it. What they are
missing is the quality time with their families. This valuable time that they
don’t give enough importance to is more
expensive than diamonds and worth more than a thousand years. This should be
realized before it is too late.
