While here for a quick visit we made some time for family photos. These were taken last year and I never put them on my website. Family sometimes takes a back seat. Anyway, this family has grown and changed so very quickly. It’s crazy to think that the oldest daughter is now in the double digits!

The girls are very fortunate to have not only 4 grandparents but, also 4 great-grandparents!! Since the great grandparents were here as well, we had to include them in some photos. Family times together are so important. I know that being in front of the camera can be awkward and uncomfortable. Even if you do not want photos for yourself, it is so special for your family. How will you remember?? Legacy Portraits can help!

I recently had one of my favorite 5-year-olds at Legacy Portraits. I have had the privilege of photographing her at least once a year since she was just 6 months old. It has been fun to watch her grow and see her personality develop! She has an adorable personality and really kept me on my toes! She gave me so many different facial expressions that I just had to put some of them together in a collage. Every year we recreate an image of them holding hands with her in the center. They have a wall of canvases of this same pose! It is a fantastic way to watch her grow.

This sweet family has been coming to Legacy Portraits since their now 3-year-old was just a baby!  I just love my returning clients!  Every year around little cutie's birthday we take a photo of her holding her parents' hands.  It has been fun to watch her grow taller and her expressions change from year to year!  She doesn't look like a baby anymore and her personality is crazy fun!!  She put up with me doing her portraits but, all she really wanted to do was drive her Jeep!!  As a fellow Jeep driver, I have to say I love this about her!!  Such a wonderful family! Enjoy

This adorable family drove all the way from Marietta to have their family portraits taken!  With two children under that age or two, that is quite an undertaking!  I know how difficult it is to make time for family photos!  I wish I had done it more with my children when they were little.  I treasure the photos that I have but, I still wish I had more professional portraits taken.  I have all the school photos, the church directory portraits, the soccer pics and all the goofy every day pics.  I still wish I had more!  I can't go back in time.  I can create memories for other families but, the time I had with my little ones is long gone.  It is my goal for 2017 to get my children and their children together for a real family portrait.  I know how difficult it is!!  But, it is so worth the trouble!  

This family called me because their children and grandchildren, who all live in different states, were going to be in Georgia together for the first time in a long time!  They wanted to document the occasion with an extended family photo shoot.  I'm so glad they made the choice to not trust their precious memories with some cell phone shots that may or may not ever get printed!  They now will have a beautiful printed album full of memories that can be viewed and shared for many years to come.
