The great thing

about getting older

is that you don't lose

all the other

ages you've been.

It is raising children that makes adults.  No other career requires quite so much of a person, nothing else stretches and grows you like living through your own child's many long years of becoming.  It takes a tremendous amount of best efforts to do it well, and this task of a lifetime was done for each of us.

Behind everyone who reaches voting age there stands somebody's project of a lifetime.

That labor of love by our elders often goes unmentioned.  Kids rely so completely on their parents being there that they quite naturally consider them part of the firmament, part of the furniture, part of the natural order of things, like the sun and moon and sky and Christmas.

Only when you become a parent yourself do you know what it's like to have your heart go walking around outside your body.  Only a parent knows how it feels to hold the outcome of another human life in your hands, and to willingly set aside a couple decades of your free time to get them there.

Don't forget the people who got you where you are, when the time come to photograph the family.

Whether it's portraits of parents and grandparents, holiday cards, wallet photos or the classic 8" by 10" prints for the desk or wall, bringing your folks in for photos is twice the fun, and a sincere way to honor them.  When the grandkids are there as well, it always makes for a great set of photos, the kind of portraits in time that become more precious with every passing year.

Our comfortable family studio offers the perfect place for sharing the camera between generations.  We have the equipment and expertise to capture you and yours in superb studio photographs either at our studio, or your location.  Give us a call for your appointment today, at 704-876-4999, or email  Andi@KidsonKamera.com
