Heirloom Family Portraits

There is one in every family. Growing up, my Aunt Peg was the family documentarian, putting photographs in albums, writing captions, typing them out on her typewriter. She passed that love to document on to me. I took it one step further and became a family portrait photographer, creating heirloom portraits for other families.

I recently came across this very touching love letter from my great grandfather Harry C. Kahn to his wife Theresa dated May 6th, 1886.

 “To Theresa

 Be not false, unkind or cruel,

 Banish evil words and strife,

 Keep thy heart a temple holy,

 Love the lovely, aid the lowly,

 Thus shall each day be a jewel

 Strung upon thy thread of life”

Harry C. Kahn May 6th, 1886

Preserving and protecting valued photographs requires careful preparation and handling of every photograph. All of the work I produce is printed archival, cured and lacquered for long lasting protection. My hope is that someday, your child or grandchild will come across your photographs and have the thrill of seeing their family members as they grew up.
