Mother's Day + A Gift of Family Portraits... The Perfect Gift

I don't know if you are like me, but there are few things (if any?) that I love to display on the walls of my home more than pictures of my smiling children.  I know that as a mother, I walk past them daily and they just give me warm fuzzies.  (Even if I might be walking by those pictures carrying an overflowing basket of laundry that needs to be folded!)  

Babies grow so quickly into toddlers... toddlers into big boys/girls... and then right into teenagers.  It's crazy how quickly time flies, and I just love freezing little moments in time that my clients can enjoy for many years to come.

Mother's Day is coming soon!  Get the mother in your life a special gift of family portraits.  It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.  (I mean, a portrait lasts forever.  Roses, a massage, or candy lasts only a short time.)  Gift certificates are available in any amount and can be customized.  Order by May 7th to receive yours by Mother's Day. Contact me at milesofsmilesphotography@yahoo.com. 

Our Products: Beautiful Photo Jewelry

Now Available: Photo Jewelry! (Available for clients as well as non-clients.  As long as you have printing rights to the image, we can put it in these jewelry pieces.)

I am so excited to add customized photo jewelry to my list of fine art products for clients.  These are available for anyone - not just my current clients.  Clients can use an image from our photo shoot - or one of your favorite images (that you have printing rights for and can email me in high-resolution).  

These pieces are so unique, and such a special way to cherish our little ones, significant others, families, pets, or landscapes.  I first saw the many pieces from this company at the Imaging USA national photographer convention in January 2012 and fell in love.  I knew that my clients would too once they could see and touch the pieces.  And I just ordered and got in my sample pieces... they are divine!

These are great to put on your "wish lists" or gift lists for grandmas, moms, friends, baby showers, and new mamas.  And men... These will score you major brownie points when you surprise the special lady in your life with this gift for Mother's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, or other holidays.

Gift certificates are available in case you aren't quite sure what your loved one would like best.

30 Years Later...

I am a total fan of nostalgia.

When a client came to me and asked if I could recreate photos from 30 years ago of her and her father when she was about 2 years old, I said "ABSOLUTELY!"  This time, it would be her father and her daughter, who is almost 2. 

She wanted to give a photo session to her dad as a gift, and I couldn't wait to revisit the past, but also capture the very sweet present times as well.  What an incredible gift idea, and boy did he ever love the pictures!

Miss "E" and her "Pa" have a very special relationship, as I'm sure he had with his own daughter when she was 2.  They love to explore and just hang out, and they go to breakfast and get pancakes and grits every Tuesday morning.  It was very apparent from watching them (and Ma) interact that they share a very special love.

Here are a few shots from our day, as well as some of the original shots from 30 years ago.

What a thoughtful gift my client gave to her parents when she booked this session.  And how fun it was to be on the creative side of the camera to capture these sweet shots!  I have no doubt that these are memories they are glad to have frozen in time.  Ah... I do love my job!
