I'm sure many of you have heard the old cliche, "what happens today are tomorrow's memories"! Photographs, whether created by family and friends or a professional, mean so much to our society. For it is the photograph that allows us to transend time and relive specials moments in our lives or the lives of generations before us. We all are guilty of remarking how time flies by and how fast our children grow. Personally, it feels like yesterday that I was holding my 12 year old daughter when she was only a newborn.
I cherish all the family photographs and videos we have created over the years as they are in essence the time machine that takes me back my happy places when I need a good laugh or just a smile. But what really is amazing is to see how children love to look at both old and recent photographs. Photographic or not, children associate with images and learn from them. As we grow older photographs become more sentimental as they are generally associated with memories. For parents, the ability to sit and look through images of their children growing up is a magical experience that in a isolated time frame allows them to witness their child's life journey to the person they have become, not matter what age. Being a third generation photographic artist, sometimes I take for granted how lucky we are to have the luxury of capturing these memories. Back in the day, not too long ago when you consider the timeframe history affords us, one had to sit for a portrait to be sketched or painted. How lucky are we that have the technology to freeze time?
It is fun to capture memories on a day to day basis, however, when it comes to "once in a lifetime memories" you should not trust them to a "once in a while photographer". Selecting a family portrait photographer is no different that selecting your families physician. You want to make sure that your personalities click and that the photographer is a qualified professional that belongs to a professional association such as the Professional Photographers of America (
http://www.ppa.com/) where you can actually research their credentials. Photographer's that belong to professional organizations such as PPA can earn Certification by passing both written exams and artistic image review. Once Certified, a PPA Certified Professional Photographer must continue their education in order maintain a level of excellence while improving their craft and earn the right to have their Certification renewed once every 5 years. Within PPA, Certification is required prior to obtaining elite degrees such as Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman.
Those of you who have experienced having your portrait created by Larmon already know that we are a family studio who cares about families. We understand that young children sometimes wake up on the wrong side of the bed or simply decide they do not want to be photographed on a particular day. No problem or punishment, we simple reschedule and try again. There are no lines as every session is by appointment only; we never rush anyone and generally allow for more time than is necessary. You and your family are always our (pardon the pun) main focus. We pride ourselves on providing stellar service and crafting portraits that you will be proud to display in your home for generations. Our goal is simple, we want you to become a lifelong member of our studio's family! This is a family tradition for me as I have had the amazing pleasure of photographing the weddings and special events in the lifetime of chidren who parent's weddings were photographed by my father.
I wish you the same pleasure I so enjoy capturing memories when it comes to the day to day fun times in your families lives and ask you to consider Larmon Studios to preserving the special moments, occassions and rites of passage for you and your family.
