The other day, my husband and I were driving on the road...ALONE..(that doesn't happen very often) and we were talking. He asked me why I love photography. So I thought about it and intended to write about it on my blog for a few weeks now. Things just get busy and I have found no time. Tonight, I was going through old pictures and discovered a little photo shoot with my children in our own back yard that I did last Spring. They were playing in the dirt and I was playing with my camera. When I rediscovered these images tonight, I was motivated all over again about PHOTOGRAPHY! These are some of my very favorite pictures of my kids...they are unposed..not standing in a studio in front of a white drop cloth but are pictures of MY KIDS, DOING what my kids do...EXACTLY how I want to remember them!
Photography...allows me to stop time for just a moment, capturing that tiny little baby chub...it doesn't matter where it is. I like it on the cheeks, hands, feet, above the elbows, fingers and toes. My children all still have that baby chub, which to me is a symbol of them being little. Only now my oldest who recently turned 7...is starting to thin out. Her sweet little hands are starting to look like a little girls hand...but I will forever remember those chubby little fingers. Because of PHOTOGRAPHY...I can remember forever. Just by looking at a photograph, I am taken back in time , and those chubby little pictures can bring me to tears. Excuse me while I am being sentimental, but I realize that being able to capture special moments like this is a gift...something I truly enjoy and find very rewarding.
I love being able to make these memories for all of my clients. I have mentioned this before, but I hope that when my clients look back on these images, they too will REMEMBER and maybe bring them to tears as well. Because we are ALL getting older EVERY DAY it is just fun to LOOK BACK and remember. :)
Here are a few pictures of my kiddos last Spring....
