In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to let precious moments slip away unnoticed. However, as a family photographer here at Salt Creek Studio Photography, I’ve come to understand the profound significance of capturing and preserving your family moments NOW. What do I mean?
Well, twenty years ago I took a photo with a father, his son and grandson. One of the pictures included the hands of these three generations. I had completely forgotten about this precious moment until last week when the grandfather passed away unexpectedly. This photo was included in their family slideshow of precious memories shown at the funeral. Later, the grandfather's son gave me a big bear hug and said "thank you so much for taking this picture! It means so much."
I did not remember taking the photo. Yet, it is a part of their family story to comfort and be remembered for generations. Just think what they would have missed out on if they wouldn't have taken the time to have family pictures done.
Similarly back in the day (before digitals) in Orrville, Ohio, our Grandma somehow had the foresight to have a picture taken and printed of herself. She didn't wait until she lost weight or for that "some day." She just did it.
Years later, I am the blessed recipient of this picture! If you look closely, Grandma was stirring a big pot of apple butter all dressed up in her Sunday best, including high heels while stirring apple butter. At Easter we pondered again what would make someone use this setting for a picture? Was this one of her favorite things to do? I guess it doesn't matter because I love how it turned out. And, I love that she invested a moment between cooking apple butter and farm chores to be in a portrait that we continue to enjoy years later.
So, although I've never posed anyone making apple butter in Wayne County, Ohio, I can help pose your family in an area you love with the people you love! Let's work together to capture your family as you are now. Afterwards, you can enjoy your beautiful album, custom wall art, premium wood keepsake boxes and retouched digitals now and for years to come.
Let's get started!
