How many adult children actually think about having a portrait session as a gift to their parents?

These three young men, who are close to the ages of my own adult "children", touched my heart so much by asking me to photograph them as a gift to their mom.

What a loving gift!

Our goal and mission is to provide families with tangible heirlooms that they can love in their home now and pass down to future generations-meaning parents/grandparents passing down art pieces to their children. This session was the other way around. The "children" are passing down a gift to their mom-one that she will treasure right now in her home. And, eventually, she can give it back to her "children", and they can eventually pass it down to their own.

So, the next time you are wondering what to get your parents for their birthday, Christmas, or Anniversary-give us a call! We would love to be a part of something so special.

All our studio sessions include up to two background changes, plus up to three outfit changes, as well. Choosing a more "formal" or dressed up outfit gives you a different look than flannels and jeans, as you can see here. And, the backdrop did and should reflect that.
