Anne Grant ~ The National Village Photographer?

A few weeks ago, we received a call from someone needing an updated portrait since she had been appointed in a new position. This is not unusual, since we "upgrade" a lot of business portraits, sometimes several times a week.
However, she went on to tell us she recently became the President and CEO of the American Humane Association, "the nation’s voice for the protection of children and animals." It is quite an honor to portray someone who has reached this level of recognition and success.
We will be telling you more about this worthwhile organization later, as we plan to do a Pet Portrait fundraiser for them, but I want to introduce you Robin Ganzert, Ph.D through the portraits we did at her parent's farm in Davie County. We've had some extra cold weather lately and this was one of those really cold days, so we bundled up and just made it happen since she needed these images right away.
Robin, her husband and 3 lovely children live in Clemmons, as well as one of her sisters, but it turned out that their other sister happened to be visiting from GA, so we made the most of it and were able to create wonderful multi-generational and multi-species(!) portraits. I consider this type of portrait almost more treasured than any other because it is so hard to get the family together..all at one time.

Generations of Love ~ Wesley's Newborn Portrait Session

The first portrait session of the new year was one of the most anticipated events at our studio.


The Anne Grant Team joins with one of our own, Denise & her husband Ben, in celebrating the birth of their first child, Wesley.

Along with Wesley's grandparents and even great-grandparents, we all marveled over the perfect miracle that each new life represents.
Being photographers, you can imagine all that Denise and I had planned for his first portrait session. Even though he was only a few days old, he was very patient with us!
By the way, he didn't really weigh almost 12 pounds! He is a big boy, but the accuracy is thrown off because of the antique scales & the added weight of the blanket.
