Catching Up & Our Move…
We’ve been lucky to have been so amazingly busy with wonderful clients as well as a move into a new location. So much so that we’ve gotten seriously behind with our blogging. So, with apologies to our clients that have waited WAY too long to be featured here, we’re going to get to blogging.
First a few images of our new place. 😀 We’ve really simplified things, hung up images and have an amazing bank of windows in the shooting room.

The Power of Photography…
This Christmas my mother gave my brothers and I the most amazing gift . Old snapshots scanned, labeled and put into a book – photos from when my grandparents were children themselves, dating, raising their children and even the arrival of some of their many grandchildren.
As I went through the book, the tears started to well up in my eyes as I realized that I was looking at my history one page at a time. Many of the people in this book have long since passed. I come from a family that is made up of many photo enthusiasts and am grateful that they took the time to take these images over the years. By the time that I got to the end of the book, I was crying like a baby.
My own children were photographed weekly as they grew up (at times much to their annoyance). The one thing I had forgotten to do was to be in the photos with them more often. It’s so easy to forget that you should be in the photos too when you’re taking them. A few months ago I mentioned to my oldest daughter that not being photographed with them more often when they were little was a huge regret for me. She very smartly told me “It’s ok Mom, we remember you taking them.” Now anytime that someone points a camera in my direction, I grab the nearest of my kids and smile.
Take frequent images of your family, be sure to have a professional session at least once a year. The photos we take today are a little bit of us that will be left behind long after we’re gone. In addition to documenting my amazing clients and their families, I am MY family’s photographer.
Below are some of the images of the book followed by a few images below from my kids growing up. What photographic legacy will you leave for your grandchildren to see and share?
