It’s been a minute . . . or a lot of minutes, maybe a few months even. 2020 has been a whirlwind, and COVID-19 delayed a few sessions and planned events for me. I’ve really missed being behind the camera to document other families. I don’t even know if I realized how much I missed it until I was documenting a sweet family again. (In case you missed it, Cole’s cake smash was my first session back!)
This little man was born three years ago, as of last Friday. It’s still hard for me to grasp that. I can still clearly envision the days and hours leading up to his debut into this world, and still feel all of the feelings that I felt during that time. To say having children turned my world upside down would be an understatement. And yes, I know it’s a little cliche, but it’s true. I look back on who I was before kids and wonder how on earth I didn’t get more done, how I was not more focused and I marvel at the things that I thought were important. That’s not to say that I didn’t try back then, it’s just that I didn’t know what I was capable of until I had to do it all with two little diversions in my life, every single day.
But this story that I’m telling today isn’t about being a mom, or my childbirth experience. It’s just to share with you part of what drives my photography journey . . .
