INTRODUCING
FORGET ME NOT PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi, I am Sandra Ferguson.  I have been a photographer in Memphis for approximately 20 years. My main genre of photography has been focused on pet photography.  Until the past couple of years.

​

A little bit about me.  I was my Mom's primary caregiver for seven years.  She was diagnosed with dementia and cancer.  Both horrific diseases.  I watched as dementia was taking her further away from me. It was difficult to witness.  Before my Mom passed away in 2021, some of her last words were, "I thought you had forgotten me." I told her I would never forget her!

​

When it came time for her services and they needed photos, I had mostly cell phone shots.  Which had me thinking, why did I not get photos taken before or right after she was diagnosed?

​

This was the beginning of Forget Me Not Photography.

​

I see families going through the same thing.  I see a younger generation that does not value the importance of photography.  I see young to middle age families getting portraits, but how often are Grandparents or Great Grandparents included on those sessions.

​

What happens when all you have left are photos?  I know because I have lost my whole family and I only have cell phone shots or digital memories. The 60+ generation (that includes me) know that family is everything.  We also know  the value of photography and having printed photographs.  They are memories that last forever.
