Practice what you preach - Katy, TX photographer

November 04, 2013 • Leave a Comment

I really and truly love, love, love photography and the power that a photograph holds. I love how photographs freeze frame time, how they bring back memories, how they memorialize loved ones who have passed, and how they can make you laugh and cry and feel awe even though what happened was just a split second in time that is now long gone.

I love to walk through my house and see photos of Roddy and I through various stages in our life…from the day I first met Roddy, to our first date six years ago and on our wedding day. Each time I see our wedding photos, they bring back the excitement I felt that day, when all of my favorite people were gathered on a beach to witness our union. I can feel the cool sand under my bare feet and the gentle spring breeze in the air.

Photography is amazing and I try to share my love of photography with my clients, so they too can understand how important photographs are. I know having portraits made can sometimes be a hassle when you're trying to juggle everyone's schedules to pick a date, attempting to keep little ones happy and clean during the session, and smiling when maybe you aren't proud of the way you look at the moment. But photographs are so worth it.

Roddy and I have been together six years now and we've had portraits made four times. If you count me attempting to take our own Christmas portraits the past two years, then you can add two more. I look forward to having our photos made. I can't wait to pick out frames to display the portraits in, and I love to send out Christmas cards to our friends and family.

I wanted to share a few of our portraits we've had made just to prove that I really do practice what I preach. When I'm trying to convince you to buy a nice portrait to hang on your wall, it's not me trying to be a salesperson. It's me trying to share my passion of photography and show the important role that photographs play in our lives.

People aren't going to be around forever and when they're gone, you'll want photos to remember them by.
