Family portraits are so important because they are the visual reminders of some of the most important people to us. Many of us have framed photos and albums from years past of both immediate and extended family. For most, old family photos are some of the most cherished objects within their home. They are cherished because each and every photo is representative of a loved one or a moment in time from years past. Every moment with family is precious and photographs help preserve these moments to be remembered and shared years after the photo was taken.
