Grandmother's advice on children and photography, Let him be little

Grandmother- Gentle Advice

Let Him Be Little | A Childhood Portrait Session with Grandson from Fox Chapel

If I could tell young mothers just one thing, it would be this:

Let him be little.

Not forever — because we both know you can’t — but for today. For this moment. For winter sled riding adventures and the way he insists on bringing that teddy bear everywhere he goes.

I’ve learned, as a mother and now a grandmother, that the days feel long… but the years are impossibly short.

Recently, my grandson spent the weekend with me, and I watched him climb a mountain of snow in the heart of winter. To him, it was a mountain waiting to be conquered—full of imagination and adventure. To me, well… it was just a plowed mound of snow. But through his eyes, I could see the mountain, and it reminded me why I create Fine Art Children’s Portraits for families near Fox Chapel, Mars, and Cranberry Township, PA. Not just photographs—but moments captured through a child’s eyes.

This is why I say, Let him be little. Let him explore. Let him show us the magic that is everywhere, before it slips away.

One day, I will miss these days.

Offering parents and grandparents Children’s Storytelling Portrait Sessions is simply my way of saying:

  • “This matters.”

  • “This age is worth remembering.”

  • “These moments can become the art you will treasure most.”

One day, you’ll miss the mud puddles they splash through, the joy on their faces as they grab their sled, the way they feel everything so deeply. And that is exactly why capturing these fleeting moments matters—so the magic of childhood isn’t just a memory in your mind, but a part of your home, a story you can see every day in the portraits that hang on your walls or live in a keepsake album.

Because childhood is brief, but the memories—and the art you create from them—can last a lifetime.

So let them be little.

Let them explore. Let them imagine. Let them stay small in your heart just a little longer.

And one day, when theyare taller than you, you will have these heirloom portraits — and they will bring you right back to those moments.
