One of the things I love about my business is welcoming you into my home. When you come in for your design consultation, reveal/order appointment, or the portrait session itself, I am opening my home to you. I love sharing myself with you as you are sharing your family with me.
I enjoy ensuring you feel welcome and comfortable. In my family, food is an important part of hospitality, so anytime you come to see me, I will have food.
My grandmother loved feeding people! One of her specialties were sugar cookies. Not the crispy or chewy sugar cookies that are cut into shapes. Her cookies were a beautiful, thick, cake cookie with vanilla icing. As children, we couldn’t resist. I can’t remember a time I went to her house when she hadn’t made a fresh batch of these cookies.
Recently my sister found my grandmother’s recipe. She had it printed on a cutting board, in my grandmother’s handwriting, and gave it to me for Christmas. I treasure that board, keep it on my kitchen counter, and think of my grandmother every time I see it. 
Sugar cookies are great treats for portrait sessions. They don’t stain faces or clothing, and they give that little boost if the kids start to get tired during a portrait session. They are also a fun way to relax and wind down the session or to fill bellies that may have gotten hungry.
Your comfort is so important to me. That’s another reason I want to make sure I have snacks and drinks. I also have a comfortable place for you to sit while I’m photographing your kiddos, and if the kids aren’t being photographed at the moment, there are blocks and books to entertain them.
Most of all I love the opportunity to talk with you, finding out what is important to you and your family, and giving you the opportunity to express yourself and be heard.
I hope I have the chance to welcome you and your family into my home portrait photography studio. Relax, enjoy whatever treats I may serve, let me do all the work, enjoy, and come back again!
