Philosophy

"One of the joys of parenthood is observing our children’s direct and unguarded expression of their feelings, hopes, dreams and desires. At Portraits that Move, we document the essence of your children exactly as they are, in their own voice, with all they have to teach us. Our gift to you is an elegant, high-quality moving image to keep for your family history, and for your heart. We are deeply grateful to create this work for every one of you."    -Susannah Ludwig, Portraits that Move
