Life Portraits
 |
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for
eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
-Brigitte Bardot
At Carolyn Watson Photography, we believe that Life’s moments are very
similar to magic – here one minute and gone the next. That is why it is
so important to capture your memories and the magic of those special
moments with the enduring beauty of a portrait.
Someday the child that you are now holding will want to tell your
grandchild what it was like growing up. Imagine how wonderful it will be
to have a beautiful album of priceless images of that childhood to pass
down to future generations.
The history of your child, your family, that very special family pet,
the important events in your life are a gift that you give yourself,
your children, and the generations to come.

Portrait Recommendations:
The Family Portrait:
One of life's greatest pleasures is seeing your family together. Chances
are your family will be gathering sometime soon to celebrate a Birthday,
Anniversary, Holiday or Summer Vacation. There's no better time to
create a family portrait that will capture the spirit of family for you
to enjoy all year round.
Take this opportunity to capture this time in your family's history and
give your family a gift that will turn those special moments into
memories they can hold on to forever.
7 Ages of Childhood:
Every child's portrait history should be carefully planned. There are
the "7 Ages of Childhood" -- times that mark the most significant
changes along the path from infancy to young adult hood. When a true
professional records these milestones, they become a treasure to enjoy
today and a valued family heirloom as years go by.
Carolyn Watson Photography will provide you with photographs and unique
keepsakes that will touch your soul and help you to always remember
those precious moments of your child’s life.
Babies First Year (1st Age of Childhood):
At no time in your child’s life will physical changes occur so rapidly.
In what seems like a blink of an eye, a tiny, helpless bundle is
transformed into an active, robust, and inquisitive young child. This is
known as the “First Age of Childhood”.
Our “Watch Me Grow Collection” is designed to provide you with several
options on how to capture and remember the unforgettable first year of
your Baby’s life. The milestones of your Baby’s First Year can never be
repeated but they can always be remembered through photographs
“creatively captured” by Carolyn Watson Photography.
Age 2 (2nd Age of Childhood):
Around the second birthday a major milestone is achieved. Your toddler
is now able to reason, is developing their sense of humor, and is in
constant action. Totally unpredictable, but always adorable…expect them
to be loveable, shy, rowdy, or reserved. They are beginning to explore
the world around them. Here one minute and gone the next!
Age 3 (3rd Age of Childhood):
Still toddlers, most three-year-olds have discovered how to entertain
themselves. Their world is filled with portrait opportunities to capture
the mystery and fantasy that are so much a part of these joyful days of
discovery and make-believe that fade too soon.
Age 4 to 5 (4th Age of Childhood):
One of the cutest and most engaging ages for little boys and girls is
the 4th age of childhood. Searching for their place in the world, they
have already developed personal interests, likes and dislikes. Their
individuality of character and action should be portrayed before their
baby teeth are lost and replaced by permanent ones…. forever altering
the endearing look of early childhood.
Age 6 to 8 (5th Age of Childhood):
During this period, the snaggily-tooth age ends and permanent teeth
emerge to change their facial contour forever. A developing mind reveals
a more mature and inquiring look. Now off to school to start making
their way in the world. There is so much to learn. Portraits made at
this age really help to confirm a child’s positive self-image.
Age 9 to 12 (6th Age of Childhood):
As your child prepares to enter the teenage years, physical, emotional,
and attitude changes occur. The little person you have known so well is
about to become more complex and less dependent young person. Peer
acceptance is now very important, and portraits capture the child’s
sense of style and expanding horizons.
Age 13 to 15 (7th Age of Childhood):
The early teenage years are a kind of dress rehearsal for adulthood.
Your child is almost an adult in their interests, attitudes and
thinking. These years are carefree and filled with the anticipation of
the challenges of adulthood that are on the horizon. There is still a
lifetime of growing and learning ahead but never again a child.
