Family Beach Portraits before your kids go off to college.

As a visual storyteller, I love the opportunity to tell a family's story.  If you have teenagers you know, heading off to college is such a pivotal time in the life of a family.  A lifetime of memories flood our heads and our hearts at graduation.  If you have never thought of family portraits as an investment . . . just ask this sweet family.   A year after their first daughter headed off to college, this moment in time is still a vivid memory.

When you send your kids off to college, make sure you send them with a framed family portrait.  A reminder of the family who nurtured and loved them is a sweet encouragement when they feel homesick or on a busy week of testing.  

I love capturing the playfulness in a family, the bond between siblings and age differences.  The sibling experience changes when a child leaves home.  

Graduation is traditionally a family gathering time. Family travelling in for graduation, a family reunion, beach vacation, high school or college graduation, hire a professional and have a family portrait taken this summer.  For years to come, you'll be glad you did.

Love this adorable little face.  She could sell me anything. She can certainly speak with her eyes.  Big, blue and expressive!

 When you have gorgeous senior portraits it's hard not to show them off just a little.  I love custom photo announcements.  It's an opportunity to share in the personality and joy of High School graduation even if you live miles away from the fun.

Graduation Party Invitation

Moms - I've been holding out on you.

Beautiful, tender photos of you and your children ~ aren't frivolous.  They're a necessity!  Because to your kids . . .  YOU are too indispensable to be omitted from their past.  

You don't want to miss this precious time. Life is fragile and the window we get to celebrate motherhood with these messy, silly and sometimes stubborn little people is small but it is also tender and sweet and filled with hope for a new day.   

I quietly celebrated a milestone last week, remembering the day 13 years ago that I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  My children at the time were 14 and 3.  I was stunned and devastated and ironically the first thing I thought of doing was having portraits taken of me with my children and family.  For my children, I wanted to make sure I was not an invisible part of their childhood just in case I wasn't blessed with the opportunity to be there to share in their birthday celebrations, skinned knees and first dates.  But God has blessed me with 13 Mother's Day celebrations and I have cherished every one. 

Moms - I guess you might say I've been holding out on you.  I have restrained myself every time a Mom says she doesn't want to be in photographs because she needs to lose 5 lbs or she needs to let her hair grow or get it cut because it's a mess.  I'm quietly sad when I talk to a family that has never taken the time to schedule family portraits.  I believe photographs give clarity to our memories and give us a sense of connectedness.  

MAMA & ME is a Mother's Day project designed to make sure you are not an invisible part of their childhood.  Schedule one of our 20 minute MAMA & ME portrait sessions of you and your child or children ~ showing off your warm, loving and playful relationship and we'll create a sweet keepsake gift for you.
