MAKING TIME STOP WITH SENIOR PICTURES  

JOAN FORD PORTRAITS - EVESHAM TOWNSHIP SENIOR PICTURES

It's mid August and I'm looking at my son and thinking - wow he's a senior now. It's getting really real. I know how fast the next year is going to be. We went thru it last year with our daughter who's about to head off to her 2nd year of college. 
 
And now it'll be Sam doing all the senior things, the fun and the stressful as he's looking towards college. Part of me is trying to loosen the reins and part of me is trying to hold on. And you can bet I'm pulling out my camera, as usual. But this time with more urgency as I beg him to humor me with these requests: 
    
       "Sam, could you please wear a polo shirt in one of your pictures?"
        (always hard to get him to do) 
 
       "Sam, we're gonna take your LAST set of pictures in Dad's shirt."
        (see bottom of this blog for what that's all about) 

       "Sam, can I finally bring my big camera and get pictures of you at the track?"
 
That last one I accomplished this past weekend. Sam does high jump and hurdles and hurdles are just easier to photograph!
 
 

You too are probably looking at your senior at home also thinking "how did we get here already?" And wanting the same things that I do:

1. TIME TO STOP (for awhile anyway, it's been going way too fast the last 3 years) 

2. And since we can't really stop time, we want to be able to HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES.  

The best way to hang on to those memories is with photographs that show their personality and inner light in the way you know exists but is so hard to capture on a phone image or in the assembly line style of school pictures.

 That's where I come in. If you want the kind of images that make you stop in your tracks and really smile, knowing that's really them, in all their glory: their vulnerability and strength, their childishness and adultness, you may want to invest in something more. 

  I offer a Senior Experience that gives you those kind of images because we take the time to really connect with them where they are now. I will find out what you both are interested in, and we customize a session to fit their vibe.  Check out my work and my reviews. If you'd like a spot in the fall, NOW is the time to book cause I've got a limited number of spots available. 

 

ARE YOU READY? CAUSE THEY ARE!

SO WHAT'S THIS DAD SHIRT THING? 

Well I've been photographing my kids for the past 18 years in our adult size clothes to capturing them and their growth. Sam's worn his Dad's white button down 17 times. These are just a few of the pictures I've taken. I'll wait til he turns 18 to get the last one and the project will be complete. This has been a true labor of love.
