It’s so very important to ‘exist in photographs’ be it children, pets, parents and grandparents alike. There is no better way to record the innocence of childhood, the wisdom of age or the love within a relationship than in a photograph. Portraits allow you to look back and relive those magic memories. Moments that may have otherwise slipped away unnoticed.
