Why trust your memories to a shoebox full of snapshots, when A Day In Our Life... can provide you with a photographic document of your family life at the dawn of the Millennium? Family photography is typically done in one of two ways: either the photographer comes to the house, sets up lights, poses everyone in their Sunday best, and shoots away - or puts you through a similar ordeal in a studio; or the photographer comes to the house, or a lo cation you select, to spend two, three, or even four hours taking 'candids' - which are usually as stilted as the posed portraits because everyone is acting out a role for the photographer.
But if you decide to commission A Day In Our Life photo shoot, there won't be any sp ecial lights; there won't be an posing; there won't be any dressing up. You may choose to have a typical weekend day of "doing nothing" documented, or you may chose a wedding day, family gathering, birthday party, or outing. What ever kind of day you chose, and where ever you spend it, B. D. Colen will photograph all day, unobtrusively recording those special moments that occur every day and family members never notice - precisely because those moments are so much a part of every day life. Colen will then select 40 to 50 photos that best tell the story of your day, and present you with a set of black and white prints in an album or archival box. As you can see from these photographs and those in the slide shows you can see by clicking on the links that follow, what will make your photos so special is not what you do on your day, but the fact that B. D. Colen is there to record it. These are images unlike any produced as part of a typical family portraiture or wedding photography session. These are images that you, your children, and your childrens' children will look at decades from now and be able to say, 'Yes, that really was... ...A Day In Our Life On Vacation In Maine 24 Hours To The Altar Family: Scenes, Yet Unseen Scenes From A Wedding Legal At Last - Massachusetts, May, 2004 For information about pricing and available dates, Email B.
