I want to tell you a true story - one that actually brings me to tears every time I tell it.  As hard as it may be to believe, I promise you this actually happened...

   About 3 years ago, a man walked into my studio.  We sat down at a table. He told me how much he felt photography was a way of capturing memories for loved ones.

   Then, he told me something I'll never forget.  He told me he had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He came to me because he wanted to have a wonderful portrait of himself created for his family as a remembrance.

   I was speechless.  Here was a man who was coping with such a challenging time in his life, and he was thinking about leaving a lasting memory for his family. He was trusting ME to produce what would probably be the last image ever created of him.  That's a responsibility I take very seriously.

   I'm sorry to say that this gentleman passed away in September of 2001. What an amazing man.  However, his family has this final portrait displayed proudly in their home, and I believe they will cherish it forever. 

That's what photography is all about - family and memories.

Life is so terribly short. But, at the same time, life is such a wonderful gift. And the memories we keep of these moments with our family will last forever.
