This image is of my 4 girls about 6 years ago.
I love the picture. It hangs in our home. But, when I pass by this picture each day, it isn’t the picture that I am reminded of. It is the moments we spent preparing for it, taking it, and the fun little moments that made up the ages at the time of this image.
It sounds so cliche, I know. Like something you heard Hallmark or Disney or some other major marketer of family stuff say 10,0000 times growing up; “Give the Gift of Memories.”
And in all transparency, if I heard a commercial utter those words, I may roll my eyes. But, let’s stop for just a quick second.
Our world, as well as the world around our children, is full of so much stuff: so much to do, so many gatherings, so many distractions and have-to’s that life sometimes feels like it is moving in warp speed. So PAUSE.
For just a moment, stop. And, breath, be right where you are. Observe your children, your spouse, your parents, your pets… For me, when I do this, I can breath in gratitude.
While we will have a blast creating memories together as we take your family pictures, those are not the memories that I am capturing for you. It is the times, right now, that you will look back on as memories that we are putting in print for down the road. All that gratitude; all the pigtails, braces, puppy-slobber, hugs between your parents and your kiddos, the times that your daughter will still hold your hand, the moments your son takes his first breaths…these memories. These are the memories we are gifting.
That picture I posted of my four girls- I have two out of the house now. Time flies. Pictures help us take pause.
As we enter the season of Thanks and Giving, consider giving the Gift of a Photography Session. Give the cherished opportunity to share time with one another. It is a gift that will gift back for generations to come.
There is no need to schedule now. I will provide you with a beautiful gift card to present your loved one. And, you can schedule with me after the holidays.
Now through January 2, 2020 all purchased photography sessions will receive an additional $25 print credit that can be used toward your album, prints, or additional digital files. 🎉 Your photography session does not need to be completed before January 2. It simply must be booked!
Easy-peasy! Give me call or shoot me an email to check availability and get yourself or a loved one on the calendar for 2025. ✨
