Photography is not only for us today, but will be even more treasured by those not yet born. To be able to look at the innocent faces of our parents and grandparents is owning a time machine. We value quality portraits of our ever-changing children, teens, and family so we can hold onto those precious moments forever, and pass them on to future generations. The better the quality, the deeper the experience. Our roots and heritage have become more important than ever as the world has been facing rapid change and upheaval.
I restored this portrait of my grandmother and have it hanging where I can see it every day. I just gave it a glance as I'm typing this post. How much would I pay for that picture if I didn't own it, and someone had it for sale? The word priceless comes to mind. She was a very sweet person, and being able to look at this part of my heritage every day warms my spirit.
Portraits are an incredible, lasting record of people and times we simply cannot preserve in any other way. How fortunate to have wonderful, lasting pieces of frozen time to remember, remind, and provide a sense of heritage. It's why I love what I do. I have the honor and responsibility to freeze moments you and future family can re-visit forever and ever. The awareness that I can leave some beauty behind to bless generations keeps me learning, growing, and serving the kind families who value what I can create for them. That makes each day very special!
