carly: "i know how much i love looking at professional portraits of my family that were taken when we were young. the clarity and composition allow me to see details in the photos that i don't come close to seeing in snaps from the same time. i know i'll always treasure them and will one day pass them onto my own children."

alex: "in our busy lives, the weeks, months and years just slip by so quickly and, before you know it, it's too late to photograph your family at a particular age with those particular expressions."

when you look at your life, your happiest times are your family times.
for most of us, our family is the centre of our world.

carly: "over the years, my family have had professional portraits taken and i love looking back at how we've all grown and evolved, from a young family, to a teenage family and now a family of young adults. when we look at people who belong to us, we see the past, present and future."
