Why Photographs are so Important....

I recently got an e-mail from a client after having her family session. She needed to reschedule our ordering session because her dad ended up in the hospital. Fortunately he is home now, and recovering well. But her e-mail said something that really made me think. She wrote,

"My Dad is out of he hospital now. The docs told him he dodged a bullet. For a day or so, I was beginning to think your photographs were going to be our last ones. He managed to even scare himself".

First of all, I am so glad her dad is home and well! But my reason for sharing this is to hopefully help people to see the true value of custom portraits. Our minds will always be our most powerful source of imagery, with photography coming a close second (and if your memory is as poor as mine, photography comes in first!) Photography captures moments in time that you will never get back. Photographs of loved ones are what we cherish long after they are gone. Photographs are what people wish they had more of after their children have grown. Photographs are what people want to save after natural disasters, fires, etc. Photographs remind us of feelings, emotions, and can transport us back in time. They are invaluable...Just a little something I wanted to share....
