đź’› Capturing Memories When Times Are Tough

Nov 5, 2025 | By: Deborah J Chetwood

These days, it feels like everything costs a little more. The economy is uncertain, gas prices keep climbing, and even the government shutdown has left many families tightening their budgets. During hard times, we often cut out what we consider “extras” — things that feel like luxuries.

 

But here’s something I’ve learned after years behind the camera: photos aren’t a luxury. They’re your legacy.

 

Long after the new TV is outdated or the phone is replaced, the images you hang on your wall or keep in that family album will still tell your story. They hold the laughter, the milestones, and the fleeting moments that make life beautiful. You won’t look back and remember what you spent — you’ll remember how it felt to hold your little one close, or how the sunlight hit your daughter’s hair just right.

 

🌿 A Special “Pay What You Can” Program

I’ve decided to open a special community session program — designed so that every family has the chance to have beautiful portraits, no matter their current situation.

 

Here’s how it works:

✨ I’ll set aside one day for a mini-session marathon — short, sweet sessions full of joy and connection.

✨ You’ll pay a small retainer to reserve your spot, and then whatever amount you can comfortably give.

✨ You’ll still receive professional editing and a curated collection of images to treasure.

 

It’s my way of giving back to this community that has supported me for years. I know firsthand that photography can feel out of reach when budgets are tight — but I never want a family to miss capturing their story because of that.

 

📸 Why It Matters

One day, when the house is quieter and the kids are grown, these pictures will be what brings you back to today. They’ll remind you of strength, love, and how you showed up — even in tough seasons.

 

If you’ve been putting off family photos because of the economy, this is your sign: don’t wait. Let’s create something meaningful together.
