Now is always the best time.
The day my first son was born, my grandfather told me, “Today, you are changing diapers, and in a blink, you'll be watching them graduate High School.” He was right—the time with our kids flies by.
I know what it's like to make excuses—I'll wait till next year when I lose a few pounds or after my son gets his braces off. But then the time comes, and there are only new excuses—before you know it, the youngest has grown three inches, and now the daughter's in braces. Then, one day, suddenly, you’re planning college visits. It happens fast, get the photos.
Making photographs for families is more than just a Christmas Card; it’s about celebrating connection and creating an experience you’ll never forget. No one ever regrets taking the time to get professional photographs, but so many wish they had. I know your time is valuable, and being in front of the camera takes work. I help my clients keep the process simple. Let’s document the moments that tell your story—creating real, meaningful photographs you’ll love today and cherish always. I’d love to work with you!
