Of course photography is about light. But even more, photography is about time. Time the unfathomable mystery.

All we really know about time is its ceaseless inevitable flow. And that try as we might, there is no stopping that flow.

Or is there? Gaze at a family picture, even a snapshot, from decades back. Look at the eyes, the expressions, the body language, then the hair style and clothing, then the surroundings. Let yourself meditate on these people at this younger time in their lives, what they faced then, what you now know lay ahead for them. Let all the clues - the composition of the photograph, its colour or sepia tones, even the fading of the print - work on you and truly take you back to that era. Has this reverie, however fleetingly and imperfectly, stopped time, even for a moment? This is the best we can do. This is the power of the portrait.

Create such images now - so easily within your power to do - and you are leaving a legacy to your future. A legacy that will immeasurably enrich your future and that of your family.

This is our mission - to remind you how grateful you will some day be - grateful to yourself! - for having done this, and to work with you now to create these portraits of YOUR family.
