About your photographer & studio

Sandra Ferguson, owner & photographer of Forget Me Not Photography

Welcome

Hi, I’m Sandra Ferguson. I have been a photographer in the Memphis area for 20+ years. My main genre of photography has been pet photography, until the past few years.

A little about me.

I was my mom’s primary caregiver for seven years. She was diagnosed with dementia and cancer, two truly heartbreaking diseases. I watched as dementia slowly took her further away from me, and it was incredibly difficult to witness.

Before my mom passed away in 2021, some of her last words to me were, “I thought you had forgotten me.”
I told her I would never forget her.

When the time came for her services and we needed photographs, I realized most of what I had were cell phone pictures. That moment stayed with me. I kept thinking, why didn’t I have professional photos taken before or after she was diagnosed?

That question became the beginning of Forget Me Not Photography.

Today, I see many families walking the same road. I see younger families having portraits made, but I wonder how often grandparents or great-grandparents are included.

Because one day, photographs are what we have left.

I know this personally. I have lost my entire family, and many of the memories I hold are in cell phone images or digital files. The 60+ generation (myself included) understands the value of family, photography, and printed photographs. They are memories we can hold onto forever.

There are many wonderful photographers in the Memphis area, and I respect the work they do. But this work is different for me. My work comes from my heart to yours, because I understand how incredibly precious life is.

Forget Me Not Studio focuses on individuals age 60 and older. Family members are always welcome to be included, but the heart of these sessions is honoring our 60+ friends and family.

I also hold a special place for those facing health challenges, including — but not limited to — dementia and cancer.
