why? (Monsey Children’s Photography)
June 14, 2010I often challenge myself to find an answer to why someone would want to book a Custom Photography Experience with me.
Words have been bouncing around in my brain lately so I decided to blog some random answers that may help you out. 
1. Because I am jealous of my clients for having such an experience. I want someone to capture my family and our connections that way. (any takers?)
2. Because one Mom told me after her session- ” I thought I was going to come home wiped out and completely exhausted. Instead I came home invigorated, refreshed, and so happy.”
3. Because as a Mommy, every time I walk past or look at images I took of my kids, my heart beats a little faster. Every. single. time.
4. Because childhood is so fleeting. All I want to do is capture it’s essence using your child’s personality, and your family’s connections as my sole subject.
5. Because I absolutely love my job and I can’t wait to meet you and your family.
Hugs!
oh, and what’s a blog post without some images?

"Fleeting" is such a wonderful word to describe what happens to your children's childhood. It goes by so much faster than you think it will. Your images stand the test of time and your clients will be so thankful that they have hired you when they are in MY position, years from now. Your work is amazing!!! (06/14/10, 2:56 am)
