New York City - Family Portrait by Melanie L. Wells
In the early days of photography the family portrait was something that few families could afford. Granted, it was much more affordable and popular than the traditional portrait painting.

New York City - Family Portrait by Melanie L. Wells

The photographer used to come from far. And weeks would pass while the family waited for the arrival of the person with their mysterious box. It was a way of keeping the family members alive during a time when children would die at a very young age.

These days... different story!
