Its National Grandparents Month!
September is National Grandparents Month, a time to honor the love, wisdom, and traditions grandparents bring to our families. Whether it’s the way they share stories from the past, spoil their grandchildren with endless hugs, or provide a steady source of encouragement, grandparents hold a special place in our hearts—and they deserve to be celebrated.
One of the most meaningful ways to do that? Capturing portraits that showcase the bond between generations. My grandparents passed when I was very young and I regret that I don’t have a single image with them. I now make sure I capture moments with my girls and their grandparents whenever I get a chance so when they grow up they have some amazing memories to look back at.
Life moves quickly, and too often, we wait for “the perfect time” to gather everyone for portraits. National Grandparents Month is the perfect reminder that now is the right time to celebrate family.
Here’s why:
Generational Memories: Photos of grandparents with their children and grandchildren become treasured keepsakes for the entire family.
Authentic Connections: Portrait sessions capture the natural bond, laughter, and love that words can’t always express.
Heirloom Artwork: Professional portraits can be turned into albums, wall art, or gifts that future generations will cherish.
Celebrate Legacy: Grandparents are the foundation of the family story—portraits honor their role in shaping who we are.
Here’s something fun—>Look around your home and see if you have a generational portrait framed on your wall. I didn’t either for the longest time but when I did put it up, it brought a big smile to my face every time I passed it.
Location Ideas:
