I am so honored and humbled when I am asked to record a person’s life in photographs. A few weeks ago I had the privilege of completing an 18 year long journey. I have been photographing Jared since he was just 6 months old. I just photographed his Senior Portraits and 18 year old portrait. WOW, every year for 18 years I have photographed him! I just can’t believe how fast the time goes by. How does that happen? It really has been fun watching him grow up. First as baby, then a curious toddler, a darling little boy, an uncomfortable pre-teen, then a typical teenager and now he is a man. A very nice man I must say. In the fall he is off to Michigan State to continue his journey. 

 

 

I must take my hat off to Jared’s Mother, Molly. You know that kid did not bring himself to the studio 18 times to have his portrait taken! You can also bet that during some of those rebellious years he was none to happy to be going and getting his portrait taken. So Molly, here it is, kudos Mom for a job well done! Actually, several jobs well done. Molly and Brady should be very proud of their son. He really is a great young man. They have a terrific son and priceless album of portraits of him growing up to warm their hearts forever. 

 

 

I guess it’s hard for me to explain how important it is to me that I have been trusted to capture so many of life’s milestones for so many amazing families. I am really impressed with our clients that have made the commitment to have their children photographed each year. I do understand that it is both a time and financial commitment that can be easily put aside as your children get older. 

 

The older they get the busier and busier everyone gets. It’s tough to get it all in. That is one of the things that is so great about summer, in the summer usually your schedule is a little less full. When you are not as busy that makes everyone a little more relaxed in the portraits. The flowers are in bloom, the weather is great and now is the best time for outdoor portraits too. I know that everyone is being very cautious with their expenses right now. However, you can’t get time back. Please contact us soon to continue your child’s history in portraits. We are more than happy to help you work out whatever financial arrangements to make this happen this year. No worries, we can make it work for you. Until next time, be well.
