Dear Cliff and Margie,
We had taken our son, Matthew, to get his pictures
taken in his short two year life to several different
locations. Always it’s the same experience
- he starts out OK for about the first three minutes
while the photographer gets maybe one decent shot
and then our son starts to cry. At this point the
photographer usually gets upset, we get upset and
Matthew cries even harder and the whole experience
becomes a sobbing mess in which no one is happy.
Of course, the photographers insists on taking more
photos anyway even though there is no possible way
for them to come out well.
With a history like that we were doubtful about
bringing our son to you for pictures, but laid all
those fears to rest within a few seconds of us being
there. We could already tell the atmosphere was different
and that Cliff Ammons really loves his job. He let
our son Matthew get acquainted with the set and the
props for a few minutes before even trying to take
a picture. When he did start snapping the shutter
he did not force us (his parents) to back away leaving
Matthew confused. It was not long until Matthew was
happy and smiling and having a great time posing
for the camera.
This picture taking experience was unlike any
other we had ever had before with Matthew, and
best of
all it was fun! We will definitely continue to use
Cliff Ammons Photography in the future and we now
look forward to Matthew’s next picture taking
session instead of dreading the experience and wishing
it would end.
Sincerest thanks, Peter and Jenny
