The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked.

So what is it that you may not know about ABCs Memories.  I bet a lot of you do not know that as my initial thoughts brewed, on the spot I thought ABCs Memories.. because I wanted to focus on capturing memories of young children.  Then suddenly, light bulb, ABCs happens to be our family.  Andrew Brian Clara and Sami, so yes, this was the beginning of our new family venture.It does take a family to put your heart into something like photography.  Test subjects when that new background comes; a few extra dollars to get them to smile although they are burnt out on it; understanding when it takes an extra 30 minutes to get home because there is a perfect opening in the sky; flexibility either while Mommy is gone more often than not & when she is home all you see is the computer in place of where her face used to be; ABCs is truly a family effort, a family sacrifice, family time loss.We all carry about our lives in the hustle bustle of today's world mostly oblivious to how fast everything really is moving right by us.  I am guilty, I will never deny that.  When it comes to time, we fear there is never enough.. we complain there is never enough.. all the while it is mostly unimportant things we are cursing we had enough time for.  Memories should never be sacrificed, but they are most definitely daily.  We just did go as a family this past weekend and actually get family pictures taken by someone else; it was amazing!Something else I bet you may not know about ABCs, we offer birth sessions!  I was fortunate enough to have my sister in the delivery room with my second child, and most of those pictures, are things I did not fully experience with all the hub bub of heee heee hoooo, pushing and what not!  I may not have ever thought of the importance of it at the time but I do now.  It is never too soon to start telling the story of new life.The birth of your child is such an important time in your life and deserves to be captured for you to look back on for years to come. By hiring a birth photographer you will be able to capture all of the moments from labor through delivery while attending to laboring mom. It is my job to make sure no moment is missed while remaining as unobtrussive as possible so that dad and or birth coaches and doulas are able to assist mom through the labor process.  The first two expecting mommies to inquire and mention this blog will be quoted special rates on a birth session!Hope everyone is enjoying all the face lifting happening to our facebook page, website and of course the blog!  A fresh new look for a fresh new outlook on time and what is important.  There are still updates in the works, please if you have any further questions or inquiries direct them via email to info@abcsmemories.net.Thank you for being continued supporters and thank you for checking out the incessant ramblings from the S in ABCs !-Sami
