Mom’s Gift

By Jason

We recently got a call from a very nice lady who asked us to photograph her along with her sisters and brother.  This nice lady turned out to be Kay Whitley, Michelle Whitley’s Mother in Law.  If you remember, we photographed Michelle’s family before Christmas.  Ms. Kay told us that she was retired and was the youngest of the folks we’d be shooting.

We have always needed some location seating for family shoots and with this session coming up, we scrambled to make sure we had adequate seating for Kay’s family………..because seniors get tired sooner than most and would rather be photographed sitting down, right.  WRONG!  Kay and her siblings turned out to be one of the most energetic and, dare I say, fun families we’ve ever had the pleasure of working for.

Jimmy, Emily, Kay, Judy, Susan, and Jane were really hoping to come out with a fantastic portrait for their Mother’s birthday gift.  Overall, I think we ended up with several good shots to choose from.  I should mention that all of these photographs were taken in the beautiful downtown area of Fort Valley.  What a lovely small town!  Ms. Kay, we really hope you guys enjoy this brief snapshot of your morning together.

Thanks again, Guys, for a wonderful session.

Well y’all have done it again! These turned out SO good! Although you had some beautiful subjects, I think you could make a heap of dirt look good! :) Great work!!

Super group photo and super group of folks, as well! You are right about the energy in this family, and you captured it quite well in your photographs. Thanks!

Thanks Jason! We enjoyed being with the two of you as well. Can’t wait to see all of the pictures. We all like what we see and Mama did too! It will be tough for her to select one. Thanks for the compliments. Your work is great–did a wonderful job with a group of SENIORS!!

Thanks to both of you. You did a great job with a bunch of seniors, it’s hard to believe that after all these years we still enjoy laughing and being together. Looking forward to seeing all the pictures. Was a fun, cold morning.

Hi Jason & Veta,

Thank you so much for traveling such a long way to take the pictures for Mom’s gift. We really enjoyed the two of you and I’m quite sure you were entertained. I’m so excited about seeing all the pics. Wishing you and Veta much success with your photography business.

Seniors!?! I don’t think we realize that!!!

Take care and God bless.

Jason & Veta,

Thanks so much for the wonderful pictures. You two did an excellent job putting up with all of us. The whole experience was great and I’m sure Mama will love her gift.

We received this note from Emily and wanted to post it since kind words are so valuable nowadays:

“Dear Jason & Veta,

Thanks so much, we will treasure the pictures and always remember how much fun we had that Saturday morning. You were both lots of fun and very kind to us. Our best to you!

Emily Campbell”

THANK YOU, EMILY!
