You know the saying. Everyone's said it to you once. And now you're saying it to other parents. Your little one, who you've nurtured and raised for almost 18 years is fully grown - maybe even taller than you. They're still your kid and they're still, maddeningly, not fully mature. But they're on their way.
And you know what? This is THE perfect time to create lasting pictures of them. It's kind of your job, as their parent, right? Whether it's a custom session with me or something smaller. Just like clothing and educating them, we as parents do have a role in recording their time with us. We've saved their costumes and trophies, we've bought the team pictures...but do we have much else to show besides whats on our phones? Technology changes - so do social media companies. You don't want to leave your memories just on facebook.
I get it, life is super busy. If I wasn't a photographer, I might not have many images of my kids. But I grew up pouring through my family's photo albums and I want to have them for my kids too.
You do have this one last chance to capture images of them right now. When you work with me, we really customize the session to your senior's vibe and every session is unique. They're encouraged to add their favorite activity, sweatshirt, pet - whatever makes them feel like themselves.
And parents, I've got you. We'll also grab a few of you together. These can be the shots you keep in a frame by your bedside table. I can stop time for you - at least in pictures.
Isn't Grace gorgeous? I remember meeting her before she was this breathtaking young woman. Just an eager little girl who was all arms and legs in Learn to Skate classes in Voorhees with her long purple hair. Now she's become an accomplished figure skater competing with double jumps in her arsenal.
She's smart and kind and so is her whole family - I even got to photographer her big sister Sarah for her high school portraits last year. I truly value the relationships I get to have with seniors and their families. More images of the amazing Grace below.
Let's plan a fun fall session for you - cozy sweaters, fall colors, hot chocolate, there's lots of ways to celebrate your senior here in the Evesham Township, NJ area and Philadelphia and beyond!
Or do you know of someone else who does? Most senior sessions are done during the summer before senior year starts?I t's not too soon to get the ball rolling. You've got activities, family vacations and college tours to navigate. It's great to get this on the calendar so you aren't stressed about what you might have missed.
So please share this post with anyone you think might be interested. We work with seniors from all over, and particularly Voorhees, Marlton, Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Moorestown along with going into downtown Philadelphia and Brigantine, Ocean City or your favorite shore town!
