This is such a wonderful time of year to make family, senior, child portraits outdoors in this great weather and gentle light. Business portraits or headshots are still a constant staple at the studio as the business world slowly gets back to normal levels. School yearbooks start to put their final push for images during this time of year. So, moms get on the computer and many of them find me and my photo studio. Our sessions are usually a mix of indoor and outdoor portraiture. We start with some formal shots in the studio with coats and ties and traditional portraits and then continue outside at some favorite spots. I like to keep things moving with different spots and clothing changes and the use of simple props such as a football or the inclusion of a beloved family pet. It's all about memories as the years pass by. We try to leave a mark on time that can be seen by our children and grandchildren and beyond. We all want to be remembered and there are steps to accomplish that. I help people leave a permanent record of paper photographs. These can't be deleted or corrupted and can always be enjoyed without the need for additional electronic devices. In several hundred years there may be more photos from the Civil War than from our current time because we rely on digital technology and photos from the Civil War were carefully printed and perserved for the future.
