How Photography Can Help Build Self-Esteem

At GiftWorksPlus, we understand more than anyone the importance of photographing major moments in our lives. Chances are your mom kept all of your grade school photos, even the ones where you had braces or acne or a horrible leopard print top on…much to your chagrin. But it turns out there is a deeper reasoning to excessive photo taking and it isn’t to cause us embarrassment. Humans are very sensitive to visual stimulus and seeing pictures of ourselves as we grow, learn, and accomplish things establishes a sense of belonging with each other. Taking photos, whether these are family photos, school photos, or team photos, helps instill in us a sense of belonging and a strong self-esteem. If you look back at your old soccer team photos, you’ll remember being a part of that team. Whether you were a bench warmer or star forward, you were just as much a part of the team as anyone else. Photographing milestones in our lives reinforces that sense of belonging, and helps us to celebrate how far we have come and remember all of our achievements. So as the school year wraps up and your kids celebrate their many milestones, be sure to give them a way to remember these moments!
