a guided fall portrait experience, by Lauren Kirkham
October 16-17 | Glenville, NY

who am i? i'm a wife and a mama, one who knows that every moment is definitely not perfect, but they all have purpose. I see how fleeting these moments are and acknowledge how the days go by so slowly but the years are flying by so fast.

what can you expect from me?
you can expect me to show you the way i see your children look at you — and to tell you they deserve a spot printed in your home, not just saved in a camera roll. i will never ask your kids to say cheese or force them to smile. i know as moms we don't get in front of the camera as often as we should, and i'll gently tell you that you need to. i also know we have thousands of images of our children living on our digital devices rather than our walls and albums. That's the heart behind every session.

THE SESSION

Because swiping through a phone can't compare to flipping through an album in your hands.
Printed photographs give your memories a place to live — not just in a file, but in your home, your conversations, your legacy. They invite storytelling. They connect generations.
Photos on a screen disappear. Prints stay.

Stop waiting for the perfect season, the perfect outfits, the perfect stage of life — perfection isn't the point. What matters most are the real moments. The ones filled with laughter, chaos, crooked ponytails, and joy that can't be posed. These are the memories your children will hold onto — and what they'll want to see you in when they look back, 30 years from now. Because your presence matters.

The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories, and family photos are the perfect way to capture those special times.
