I have a specific memory of one of my very early childhood birthday parties. My memory consists of me opening a present with a pink bunny inside. A few years ago I was going through some old pictures at my mother's house and ran across a familiar picture of me opening that present and holding the bunny. Strangely I don't remember getting any other presents or anyone being at the party that was not present in the picture. I am convinced that photographs strengthen or even create memories.
When photographers say they are "preserving your memories", I think it is such a trite statement and I have to try not to gag. But, it's true. Great photography will not only preserve great memories but enhance them and make them more glorious and special as the years go on.
You deserve great portraits of yourself during special times in your life. Ok, I hope that didn't sound trite!
