The longer you wait…
There's a principle that suggests the likelihood of completing a task diminishes over time. The longer we postpone an action we know we should take, the higher the chances become that we might never follow through.

There is something special about holding a printed photograph or leafing through a book full of your family’s photos in your hands. It creates a stronger emotional connection to the moment captured, allowing you to reminisce and share stories more vividly.

Overcoming Excuses: Why Those 12 Years Matter
While many of you, as parents, understand the importance of capturing your child's milestone portraits, life often gets in the way, leading to the "Twelve Year Gap" – the period between ages 5 and 17 when it’s simply easier to delay (or completely miss doing) these portraits.
Here are some common excuses we hear and a few thoughts to hopefully help you overcome missing out on these significant years.
The Twelve Year Gap…the lost years.
As professional children and family photographers with four decades of experience, we've noticed a concerning trend – what we call "The Twelve Year Gap." Parents enthusiastically capture their child's milestone portrait at age 5, but then, we don't see them again until their high school senior year at 17. It's as if an entire decade of their childhood has been lost, frozen in time, with no visual record of their growth and development.
Full Circle Moment
In a very special full circle moment, Lauren returned to our studio and this time, as a high school senior, ready for her portrait session. As we prepared to capture this pivotal moment, a wave of emotion swept through the camera room.
Refreshing your personal BRAND
In today's digital world, your professional online presence matters more than ever. One way to establish credibility and trust with potential clients or employers is through professional portraits. Investing in high-quality, custom headshots and branding portraits, tailored specifically for your industry, can pay dividends when it comes to showcasing thought leadership.
Professional portraits optimized for areas like your website, social media profiles, and other online platforms enable you to put your best face forward, quite literally. Working with an experienced photographer ensures properly framed, well-lit photographs that convey confidence and capability. Plus, it allows consistency across platforms for better branding and name recognition.
Is your headshot sabotaging your brand?
Don't let a lazy or cheap selfie undermine your career ambitions. Put thought into your headshot so it elevates rather than sabotages your brand image. Consider investing in a professional headshot session and then consistently using that image across all of your professional profiles and platforms.
It is an investment…
Professional portraits of your children are an investment…for you, for your children and for the generations to come.
