Photographs open doors into the past, but they also allow a look into the future - Sally Man

Portrait photography has been more than just a profession for me; it's a way of life. I am able to document my children throughout their little lives with photographs that will speak to me for years to come. From day one I was taking their pictures, creating those lasting memories for their baby books, their nursery, and for my hundreds of photo albums that take over our home! I love that I am able to do this same thing for families and their precious family members, whether they are 3 days old, or leaving the house for the first time to attend college. Many people may think that a photograph is just a photograph, but I truly believe that one image, just one, can have an impact on someone for a lifetime. After all, what is the first thing you go looking for after someone you love has passed away? Photographs hold a very special, very sentimental place in all of our hearts. I hope that one day I can create that special and sentimental portrait for you!
