Just a girl living her best childhood.
When I first got into doing photography, it was because I was beginning to lose my memory and I had begun to forget so much of our children's lives when they were little. Since I started photography, my wife and I have gotten a lot better at capturing moments. One thing I had never thought of was how important these memories will be for the little ones in those photos as well.
My wife and I recently found a bunch of our old photo CDs and some old video cassettes when we had just gotten married and started our family. Our daughter thought it was so cool to be able to see herself in those old photos and videos and we have spent the last few nights just watching old family movies together.
While I was in Oregon, I was able to do a photo shoot for some very close family. It was probably one of the most special photo sessions I had ever done. These two little girls are super special to my wife and when I was finally able to meet them, they quickly became family to me as well and I fell in love with them.
These two have the sweetest spirits and we love being around them. I am glad that I was able to capture these moments for their parents, but also for them in the future. Photography has become such an important aspect of my life and I love that I am able to capture these moments in time for the families that I have photographed. It is such a special gift and an honor that these families entrust me with. It won't be too much longer before my wife and I are grandparents and I am going to be taking so many pictures of our little grandkids.
Life is short. Take the time to take a lot of pictures and capture everything you can. Time doesn't slow down for anyone.
