Future Feelings
Meet Porter. We've been photographing her, her family, and her entire extended family every year for 13 years.
Yep. You read that right, 13 years.
In April, we also created her senior portraits and I don’t know who was more emotional about her graduating - her family or us!
You have to understand. Thirteen years means that when we first met her, she was this little:
Obviously, she enjoys being photographed more now that she's older.
Or, how about these little guys? Who in only 4 years went from this:
To this:
Most of the time, when clients come to us for a family portrait, they're
thinking about the here and now. Together, we're planning where the portrait will hang in their home, and they're excited about how they - and the rest of their family - will love seeing it every day in a place of prominence.
We delight in exceeding their expectations of how happy the portraits will make them.
What they don’t count on - and, really, our favorite part - is how those portraits will make them feel a few years from now.
When the baby faces somehow mysteriously disappear and tiny teeth make room for big, awkward, gonna-need-braces teeth.
When your littles become teenagers and you look at these portraits every night before going to bed so that you can remind yourself that, yes, that sweet little person is still in there. Somewhere.
When your teens leave the nest and these portraits are your guarantee that you'll continue to see their faces every day.
When your babies have babies and you point to these portraits to show them where they came from.
This is what a legacy looks like.
And it's never too late to start creating yours.
