❤️ A NEW CHAPTER FOR PORTRAITS BY CHER ❤️
After 14 years of spending most of our evenings photographing local recreational sports, we've made the decision that it's time for a change.
As much as we have loved every minute, we have realized that our health, our family time, and taking care of ourselves need to become a bigger priority. It's time to slow down a little in the evenings and make room for some new adventures.
We have so many wonderful memories from the basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and football fields. This journey started when Walker was in kindergarten, and for all these years, we've had the privilege of watching so many of your children grow up in front of our cameras.
You have become so much more than customers. You've become friends, familiar faces, and people we genuinely love. We are incredibly thankful for every coach, parent, player, and family who has supported us along the way. You have been a huge part of our story, and we will always cherish those memories.
But don't worry, we're not putting our cameras away!
Portraits by Cher will continue photographing: 📸 All sports at all three YMCA locations
📸 Families
📸 High School Seniors
📸 Preschools
📸 Dance
📸 Gymnastics
📸 Cheerleading
📸 Special Events
We're excited to put more focus on creating beautiful memories for families, and have a little more time to enjoy life outside of work.
Fourteen years is a long time, and we wouldn't trade those memories for anything. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your children's lives and your family's memories.
We love you guys, and we hope you'll continue to follow along as Portraits by Cher begins this next chapter!
Same cameras, same love for photography, just a little more balance. ❤️
With love and gratitude, Cher Nelson Johnson and team.
