8. Sentimental Memory Maker & Family Historian Mom:
What Mom really wants the most is to be IN the portraits with the people she loves the most—her family! Most times Mom is the busy one taking all the pictures of the kids and she is rarely photographed and shown with her kids. Her kids are her most precious possession and the photography freezes time so she can look back fondly when her children were babies, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary age, preteen and teenagers). Family portraits with my husband and kids is the most meaningful possession I own and I cherish it. These images are heirlooms to pass on to my children and grandchildren and so they can also see how much I love them!
