Not Instagram-Perfect? Hallelujah!!! (part 2)

You’re the perfect candidate for a Midori Joy session if you…

 

 

Have taken the road less traveled… 

When Travis passed, I’d just traded in my cute little convertible for a minivan. And had gotten to take one blissful trip with my new baby daughter and a van full of young teens (my step kids and their besties)... had the joy of watching them plan out their paintball strategy to victoriously defeat seasoned grown men. Oh, the pride on their faces! 

 

Then in an instant, my family of five shrunk to TWO. With the loss of Travis I also lost custody of his two beautiful kids. 

 

In the years after, I’d get a knot in the pit of my stomach seeing all the beautiful family portraits on Facebook… I’d think, “We can’t get portraits. There’s only 2 of us. We’re not a real family.” 

 

Until one day, I came across a Groupon from one of Reno’s premier photographers (kudos Jeramie Lu), and I suddenly said, “Screw it! We ARE a real family.” And I bought the Groupon and booked our session, and finally buried that outdated, narrow, incredibly WRONG definition of what a family is. 

 

Maybe your family is chosen. And contains so much love and laughter you wouldn't have it any other way. 

 

Or maybe your “kids” have four legs and a tail. 

 

Or maybe you are fiercely independent. A true Renaissance man/woman. You call the shots. And you love your life. 

 

 

Just like me, you deserve to be seen.

You deserve to honor how far you’ve come in life. 

 

You deserve a beautiful portrait that you’re proud to show the world. 

 

The time is now. Let's do this. Click "Book my session" to get started today.
