time marches on



Yesterday I made a portrait of a striking and gracious young woman.

Years ago I took her picture, too. Back then she was wearing her first communion dress.

Now she’s a senior in high school.

The experience reminded me how fortunate I have been to be in the portrait business over these past ten years. I have been granted the privilege of watching kids grow up before my very eyes! Many of my clients have stuck with me; as a result, I have had the opportunity to chronicle their children’s growth over the years. It’s fascinating to look back at the earlier pictures and recall who they were then, who I was then.
