Every year, like clockwork, we have the joy of photographing the same family. And every year, they do something that moves us deeply—they turn their photos into a book.
Not just any book.
A custom heirloom filled with memories, laughter, growth, and love. A book to place on a shelf with the others from years past. A book that will one day tell the story of their family better than any phone ever could.
This annual ritual, led by a father with an eye toward legacy, is not just about pictures—it’s about preserving the heart of his home, year after year.
As a Black husband and wife photography and videography team, Garrett and I have always believed in capturing moments that matter. But this family has shown us that it’s not just about the photos—it’s about printing them, holding them, and placing them where hands can touch and eyes can linger. These yearly sessions have inspired us to do the same for our own family. Because memories deserve more than a spot in the cloud—they deserve a permanent place in your life.
Why Annual Family Portraits Matter
In a world where everything moves quickly and images live on screens that can vanish with the click of a button, printed photographs are a soft kind of resistance. They say:
"We were here. We loved. We laughed. We grew."
How many photos live in your phone right now that never see the light of day?
How many special moments get buried under texts, screenshots, and selfies?
Where will those photos go when we’re gone?
And more importantly, what will our children show their children when they ask, “What did your life look like?”
More Than a Session—It’s a Legacy
We don't take your trust lightly when you invite us into your lives for a family portrait session. We know these are not just pictures—they are sacred glimpses of who you are in this season. Whether your babies are learning to walk or leaving for college, there’s something worth remembering in every chapter.
And we are here to help you honor it.
Every family that works with us receives intentional guidance, gentle posing, and storytelling imagery that reflects your family’s dynamic—not a cookie-cutter version of it. From our first conversation to the final gallery, we’re thinking about your future bookshelf. The kind with real pages, turning with time.
Because as we often say:
“We preserve what matters most—love, memory, and soul—in stories that stand the test of time.”
Let This Be Your Reminder
Don’t wait for the "perfect time"—because the truth is, right now is the perfect time. Life is happening. Your kids are growing. You’re changing. There’s beauty in the chaos, and it deserves to be remembered.
So whether you’re just starting your family or you’re deep in the thick of it, we invite you to start documenting your legacy with us. We’ll help you create a collection of portraits that tell the real, beautiful truth about your life—and maybe, just maybe, help you build a bookshelf full of stories that last long after we’re gone.
Let’s create something sacred together.

Love Deeply,
