The Swails family joined us once again for their annual family session, and this year we explored the beautiful Altherr Nature Park in Monticello, Indiana. The fall colors and lush greenery made the perfect backdrop for their portraits. I’m always so impressed by how sweet and cooperative their four amazing kids are–it truly makes photographing them such a joy. It’s been such a treat watching this family grow and capturing their memories year after year.

Legacy Clients–what are they? And what they mean to us 💕

At LVP Studios, we lovingly refer to many of our returning families and couples as our Legacy Clients. These are the people who choose us year after year to document their most meaningful moments. They are the families who come back every season for updated photos, allowing us to watch little ones go from newborn snuggles to big kid adventures. They are the couples whose love stories we captured on their wedding day, and now we get to photograph their growing families. They are the people who have trusted us once, and continue to trust us time and time again.

Legacy Clients are the heart of our business. Their loyalty means we get to form real relationships instead of one-time interactions. We learn your kids’ names, your quirks, your traditions, and the things that make your family unique. We get to cheer you on through life’s chapters and celebrate milestones right alongside you. Because we already know you and your story, every session becomes more relaxed, more joyful, and more personal.

For us, being invited back is not something we take lightly. It is the biggest compliment we could receive. Every returning session reminds us why we do what we do, to create memories that families will treasure, to capture the details you never want to forget, and to tell stories that grow richer each year.

Legacy Clients make this job feel less like photography and more like friendship. Your support allows us to keep doing what we love while building a community around it. Whether we have photographed you once or twenty times, we are honored every single time you step in front of our camera.

Year after year
