In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to let fleeting moments slip by. Not long ago, stepping into your grandmother’s home meant being greeted by walls filled with photos, each capturing life’s cherished moments—a visual reminder of the love, milestones, and memories that shaped a family. Professional photography allows families to continue this tradition, ensuring the most meaningful moments are preserved for future generations.
“I think we all just get caught up in life. In the day-to-day, you’re running back and forth to work and trying to go to the gym, meet up with your friends, and take care of your children. Life just goes by so fast. You blink, and suddenly, you’ve been married six years. Sometimes, we forget to slow down and savor those moments. That’s what pictures and videos do. They freeze moments in time. That one hour is worth it because the photos are all you have left of that period of your life.” Shared Rose, Co-Owner of Fabian Photo + Films.
One powerful story highlights how impactful these photos and videos actually are. A bride reached out to the Fabians after her husband’s best man passed away, asking for any additional footage of him. The Fabians provided the raw video, offering the couple cherished final memories of their friend. “It’s moments like that when we realize the weight of what we do,” shared Brandon Fabian, Co-Owner of Fabian Photo + Films.
Brandon and Rose emphasize that professional photography is about so much more than curating pictures for social media. “When you hang your family portraits in your home, you’re showcasing memories that are deeply personal and timeless,” Rose adds. “Your photos should be for you, not for anyone else.”
Those unfamiliar with the process may wonder how best to make the most of their experience with a professional photographer. The Fabians keep their advice to clients pretty straightforward. “Our top two pieces of advice would be to always make sure you check for a full gallery and always make sure that you have a contract in place. That is the safest way for you as a client and for us as photographers to have that handled. Because things happen,” shared Rose. Most importantly, let go of the stress, trust your photographer, and savor the moment.
Rose and Brandon tailor their approach to each client’s unique story, bringing experience, skill, and a touch of humor to every session. They ensure that each photo reflects the love and connection of those in front of their camera, whether it’s a couple just starting their journey or a family preserving their legacy.
As Brandon and Rose like to remind their clients, “Your moments are precious, and once they’re gone, all that’s left are the photos and videos to remember them by. Make them count.”
