Everyone has a camera and happy snaps of family and friends are a must for every household. There is nothing better than taking photographs at a party, birthday or an event where your favourite people are at and looking back on these. They serve as captured moments in a lifetime and become treasured as time passes.Having family portraits done by a photographer has it’s place as well. Firstly – it gives you images of how your family was at a particular time…..like when you have little ones…that time is so precious and babies grow and change so quickly. How important does that image become in years to come? Also how often are you all as a family able to be in the photographs at any one time?

Newcastle photographer Petti Anastasi says ” A family portrait every so often is a must as it captures time which has passed and you never get that time back…..but when it is photographed families or children are shown as how they were at the time. Newcastle has so many beautiful locations for portraits to be done….we have beautiful beaches and great parks and rolling hills….portraits are a definate must for any family”
