My daughter and I saw the studio display at Brookfield Square Mall. The photographs we saw were different. They seemed to capture the essence of the relationships of the people in them. Kristen knew that Babbonis was where she wanted to go to have her senior portraits taken. I decided it was also a good time to update our overdue family portrait. It had been well over a decade since we had done anything other than take candid snapshots.  Getting our family together was a challenge but I knew it could not wait with Kristen heading off to college and Kyle soon to be married. We hada wonderful time taking the portraits with Wayde at our new home. The session was so much fun and the results were amazing. When we came in for our viewing we were blown away. How could we choose? They were all great! Kathy was patient and made great suggestions. I ordered wall portraits, gifts and albums. Each time I look at those photographs it reminds my husband Todd and I how far we have come as a family and how blessed we are.

I spent the early morning shedding tears of joy and pride. Wayde captured the essence and personality of my kids perfectly. Though 5+ years since he last photographed my children, the images I viewed today appeared to be taken by someone who had known them for years. What a gift! I can’t wait to display the artwork!
