I’ve made it no secret that in-home sessions are my most favorite.
As I recently passed along my first-born to the hands of her first college experience, sure, I’m often handed reminders of the speed of which time passes. But mostly, the reminder has been made up of collective visions of stages, transitions, and shifts from one space of growth to the next…without a warning that each was a goodbye…only softened by a welcoming hello from unpassed territory.
I have often feared that I wouldn’t remember how I felt at all the increments of time. And admittedly, I can’t remember everything. But I’ve been surprised by my recollection of the simple pronunciation of particular words with the viewing of an image of one of my children at preschool ages. I can hear their voice with an image. For as long as I have been behind a camera, I’ve only wanted one thing…I have wanted the person holding the image to be able to “feel” that space, that moment, that stage.
A camera has consistently been in my hands for the last fifteen years. During this span of time, I have captured every stage within our growing family…and now, I can get lost in those moments…watching not only their growth as humans…
But mine too.

During the months of February through May, I generally focus entirely on in-home sessions. I bring these sessions to the calendar at a special discounted rate because this is an invitation to preserve YOUR memories in ways that I most value myself. Learn more here and feel free to reach out to claim a date.
Aaaand continued hats off to Ferris – life does indeed move pretty fast.
Cheers, all.
