Who Understands How Fast Time Goes By?

Grandparents bring a unique perspective to family photoshoots. To them, it's not always about Pinterest aspiration and social media likes.  With their wisdom and experience, they seldom waste time worrying about the unknown such as "What would other people think?"

Instead, they focus on what they like and what they know. 

And here's a few hard truths that grandparents know about families:

• Babies don't keep
• Childhood doesn't last forever
• Youth and beauty fade before we're ready
• We're not always promised more time with our loved ones

These are unchangeable truths ⬆️, and grandparents have faced them down.

You see, Moms are often busy, caught up in the whirlwind of daily life and not realizing how quickly their little ones grow. Grandparents, on the other hand, see the bigger picture and know that these moments are worth preserving. "When things slow down..."  Moms lament.  But Grandma knows that yes, things will slow down, but only when the kids are grown and the chance for childhood portraits has passed.

One more reason grandparents are the best clients:

Grandparents get the added benefit of showcasing their wonderful grandkids to the world! It's expected! You have pictures in your home and on your phone and you're ready to share in an instant! There's a special kind of joy in being able to share beautiful portraits with friends. It's a gift that keeps on giving (which is another thing grandparents value- time well spent).
