lifestyle photography: a wise investment in you and your child's memories...

this special lady is a client and a friend of mine. she is the proud mama of three beautiful boys. the most recent little guy, jacob, pictured here, was the star of this week's session. i was lucky enough to photograph his live birth back in june. what a powerful experience that was for me.

ONE of the many reasons i admire jenn is because she does what i wish i had done...what many moms wish they had done-- she continually invests in portraits with EACH of her children as well as her family. so often we have family shots and regular group images of the kids which is wonderful. taking it to the next level by capturing moments together with each child is so so powerful. as we all know...the years fly by. how amazing will it be for this mom to look back and relive these special days of one-on-one and family togetherness.

i applaud this family for investing in the preservation of their family memories.

do YOU have special pics with your kiddos?
i do but not nearly enough. when i wanted to capture these moments with my boys i usually set up a tripod and took the pictures myself. it was a pain and most always took the spontaneity out of the moment. i wish i had hired a photographer and i wish i had dozens more images of me with my boys when they were younger.

don't make the same mistake! call me--i will preserve your magic moments forever.

thanks jenn and greg for trusting me to be your photographer and your friend all these years!
