Grandparents are a special gift to families; they care, adore, and shower us all with love. Even more magical is the bond they share with their grandchildren.

One will confirm this, if you have ever witnessed a grandparent meet his/her grandchild for the first time; the unexplainable love and joy is evident. The joy that comes from being a parent yet again, a "grandparent"!

Grandparents believe that grandchildren are their reward for raising children.

If you look into the eyes of grandparents that are around their grandchildren, they are filled with love.

Having grandparents around: a win-win for all parties.

Relationships between grandchildren and grandparents breed many benefits to grandparents, parents and grandchildren. It is only imperative that these relationships and memories are well represented and preserved in your family portraits.

Benefits to grandparents:

When grandparents spend quality time with grandchildren:

It connects them to the new generation.

Helps them appreciate how far they've come and how much they have achieved.

Helps them feel rejuvenated, happy and young again.

Research shows that grandparents that have a healthy relationship with their grandchildren tend to live longer.

Benefits to Parents:

While parents are still active and busy accumulating wealth for the family, out of love grandparents can step in and take up the roles of a friend, a teacher, a family chef or chauffeur helping with drop-off and pickup from school.

In some cases, grandparents are valued advisors and trusted confidants to both the parents and the grandchildren.

Benefits to Children:

Children learn a lot from their grandparents. They learn about their lineage and history, enlightening them of who they are and their roots.

They learn basic life skills like riding a bicycle, driving, knitting, baking, etc.

Grandparents also shower their grandchildren with affection like no one else would, many kisses, hugs, and a lot of gifts.

Family Portraits: Tell your family story with love.

Your Family portraits on the walls remain one of the most important assets in your home with the value increasing exponentially the longer you have them in your home.

It is one of the few things one would run to get if the house was on fire.

Families are represented as units in portraits, connecting members of a family, from generation to generation.

It remains true when you look at a family portrait, that “A Picture is worth a thousand words” or is it worth a thousand dollars ha-ha!! I bet its priceless!!!

Photographs capture who we are and the stage in your lives. A professional photographer can capture your family’s personality and tell a story of your family through their lens. Professional photographs have been known to aide in tracing a family’s genealogy long after they are gone.

Although daily life may not allow you time to have professional portraits created each time you have a family gathering or reunion, it is important to make time to have family pictures created and printed professionally at least once every few years.

We know that planning a photo session can be daunting so from the moment you contact Seraphine Photography you can rest assured that we will collaborate with you to create a memorable experience for your family.

Capturing your family and their individual personalities is the bane of our existence as a result we are committed to walking with you through each step of the process; we keep track of all the details big and small, so we start the with the end in mind.

Helping you pick your clothing and location in consideration of your style are just a few of the things we keep in mind when planning. This allows you to relax and enjoy the experience with your loved ones. We also keep in mind your style and home décor to ensure that your wall art fits into your home so that you can enjoy your portraits whether in wall art or albums.

Though memories can only be crystal clear for a short time. Photographs help you preserve them, especially when the experience cannot be recreated.

Family portraits serve as gifts today and heirlooms for the future; they serve to remind us of our grandparents and the ones before them. They give us an insight to our past culture, traditions and history.

Taking family portraits is the ticket out of our messy and chaotic world. It allows us to forget about our hectic activities and full schedules; During your portrait session we give you permission to get lost in the moment, spending quality time creating a memorable experience with the ones you love dearly.

As memories fade, your heirloom portraits we create will not only remain as proof of life, but as a window into your family’s legacy.

Let us help you document your memories with your family and create wall portraits that will put a smile on your face each time you walk into your home or pass by the family wall gallery.
