Sometimes we take pictures to preserve a memory. Sometimes we take portraits to memorialize an age and a person. Other times we take portraits to be decor in our homes.

Sometimes it's all three!

This set of portraits. I specifically designed to hang in a particular spot in our home. Having a specific vision can be difficult, especially when working with children. At first I felt frustrated because the portraits weren't turning out exactly as I had hoped. But as I looked at the portraits I did have, I realized that they could work, and now I am in love with them!

Having a purpose in mind when doing portraits can really help guide the experience, but I have found it is equally as important to be flexible and willing to envision something new when given the opportunity
