My heart …

As many of you may have noticed my blog has been a tad quiet lately … that’s because I took a little time away from sessions to focus on the two loves of my life ~ my boys.  One of the things that photography always reminds me about is that we have to not only capture the special moments, the smiles, the memories …. but we also have to live them and cherish all the little moments.  So I took a mini hiatus to focus on my little man as he started his journey at junior kindergarten. 

I always get slightly taken back by how fast time flies … like the song says you “blink” and suddenly your baby boy is smiling bravely at you as he waits to start his first day of kindergarten.  Its a crazy mix of emotions that leaves you feeling so incredibly proud and so completely sad that you have to let go of them just a little more with each new journey they begin. 

All this just reminds me how much I cherish the photographs I have of my boys … like this week when I took a walk down memory lane to look at how much my little man has grown.  Photographs of my boys will  always be treasured by me for the rest of my life … it amazes me still to this day how one little image has the power to make me laugh, make me cry or make my heart swell with pride …

To all the fellow moms and dads that had little ones start “big school” (my son’s wording not mine LOL) remember to enjoy and capture the beautiful little creatures they have become at the start of such a wonderous journey.  Oh and keep those tissues handy ….

My little man …
