Why Family Photos?

• DOCUMENT GROWTH-All too often we forget about our past because we are so busy building our futures. Our children grow up too fast! In the blink of an eye they are packing their bags and going off to college. Gone overnight are the days of the little pitter-patters of feet walking toward the bedroom door to wake us up at 6 in the morning.
• Reliving Memories-Family portraits are also a great way to reminisce. Grandchildren may someday ask to see pictures of the family and wouldn’t it just be sad if there were few or none to share? Having the pictures brings the family together again as they look back on their lives before.
• LIFE HAPPENS-We may not want to admit it but the make-up of the family can change without warning and loved ones may pass on. There’s no reason to squander the opportunity to capture life together now. You never know when that last chance for a family photo will come. Rick + I are both statistics here. We each have siblings that have left us unexpectedly and we have very few pictures of ourselves with them.
• Memories are powerful- Memories tie us to people, places, and emotions. Preserving these memories for the days when we may not remember, can’t remember, or might just need reminded of can be a beacon of hope for the future.
