I’ve always had an interest in photography. But after my mom passed away from cancer in 2013, I discovered a greater appreciation for portraits and candid photos.

You see, my mom didn’t like getting her picture taken. I don’t really know why she never wanted to be in the shot. Maybe she was a little self-conscious as she aged. 

You can probably understand that. I get it too. I feel it now too. I’m looking older. I need lose some weight. I totally understand. But after Mom died, I realized that we have very few quality pictures of her.

So, I decided to make a conscious effort to get in front of the lens. Regardless of what we look like and even if we could stand to lose 10-15lbs, it’s important to do it for the ones we love.

Get in the shot. Be present with your family.

It might sound morbid, but we don’t know what the future holds. Our kids go from babies to graduates to newlyweds in what seems like minutes. And we go from new moms and dads to empty-nesters to grandparents even faster.

Don’t lose those precious moments!

Some say that a picture is worth a thousand words. But they’re more than that. Pictures are a path from the present to the past.

The perfect photo can help you relive the most joyous times in your life.

Save the memories with beautiful photos of your family.
