Being a photographer, one of my favorite things to do while I’m out and about is offer to take a family’s photo. Usually it’s when I come up on a couple who’s arranged everyone in a picture with dad, and mom is on the other side of the camera. So I offer to take it for her so the whole family can be in it.
Grace Rhinehart shares my heart of capturing family memories for random strangers.
While grabbing a sweet treat at Rita’s Italian Ice with her grandson, Blake, Grace noticed a “sweet family” eating ice cream together on a bench outside of the shop.
“Something urged me to ask them if I could take their picture.” Grace wrote in a Facebook post that has since been removed. “They said yes.”
Grace snapped the photo on her cell phone, then handed it to the family so they could send it to themselves. They exchanged numbers and said thank you before Grace and Blake headed on their way.

In the car, Grace explained to her grandson that she often offers to take pictures of families she doesn’t know.
