Memories

Memories are one of the most important and cherished things
that a person carries through their lifetime.
We are always clinging to the ones that we have,
while striving to make great new ones.
Photographs are the single most important way to preserve your memories,
the details are captured forever.
Looking at them, your memories which have perhaps faded,
rekindle and come alive.


If asked "what item would you grab first if your house was on fire?" most often the answer is "photographs." You can replace your material possessions but you cannot replace your memories.

The job of capturing a time in the life of your family is something that we at Caldwell take very seriously, because we want to ensure great memories.

Moms and Dads!

If you have never had a high school senior before let us give you a few tips...

1. These will be the most important photos your child has ever taken, and probably the last until their wedding!
DO IT RIGHT!

2. The yearbook committee requires submission of a picture in early Fall. They must meet stringent specifications. All of our packages include a yearbook photo.

3. It seems early but you REALLY CAN save money by doing your Senior's session soon.

4. Seniors take this very seriously. WE DO TOO! Your child is treated as they want to be... with respect. No "baby stuff" here at Caldwell.

5. Senior portraits represent 13 years of accomplishment and allow the Senior to "strut their stuff" and show off to the world the terrific young adult they have become.
Most want to have portraits that are unlike any they may have had in the past. They want to include their "stuff", their interests, even their dog!
NO PROBLEM, At Caldwell we welcome diversity!

6. Senior year is the only opportunity a student has to submit a yearbook picture from an outside photographer. Take advantage of the opportunity, have your Senior look exactly how you want them to in the yearbook.

The Funny Thing About Senior Portraits is...

They are Not Really for the Senior!


We may call them "senior portraits," because they capture that special moment in their lives, but the reality is... few of the seniors we photograph will have a portrait of themselves on their wall, or even on their desk. However, you will. The grandparents, aunts and uncles, very close family friends, and anyone else who had a role in watching your senior grow up will want to remember this time in their life.

This is the last opportunity for you to have your "child" photographed professionally. For many families these are the only professional photographs they will have of their child. These are the photographs you will look at long after they have left the nest and started their own families.

You want something that will always remind you of just how they were, and just what your life was like when they were home. You will want something that says, "Oh, that's so her/him," every time that you see it.

Many young people think that they will be happy with a senior snapshot or facebook style picture for their yearbook picture. These can be funky, strange, and great for the moment, but do they provide a long lasting memory? Is that timeless? No. Facebook photos change daily or weekly. They are not long lasting keepsakes.

Let us provide you with a portrait series of your child that will be timeless. A Caldwell Photography portrait will be cherished for generations. Capture this precious time in your Senior's life. You will be glad that you did!
