In the Memphis area it seems there is a short window of time to capture memories outdoors. The weather can go from pleasant to scorching in a few days. I just wanted to share my list of things I pack in my bag to take to a shoot. And I had to add an image from a recent session I did with the Pickens family. Their daughter will be leaving for the military soon and they had not had a family portrait taken since their youngest was a baby. I met Kim through a friend and I remember talking about how passionate I am about what I do and not waiting to capture your memories. I am happy to have been able to be a part of their memory!
