i have always had an interest in photography. i have always wanted to carry a camera with me every where i go. And most of the time i think i will just remember what my eyes see. Forever. And i don't always remember. I want to capture things, in case one day, my son wants to see the world the way i saw the world. the way i saw him growing up. that is really all i have done is capture him over the years. but i have always wanted to turn that hobby into a part time job. a job that allows me to help families capture what they cant. moms aren't always in the pictures. so i want to make it my job and have moms in the pictures with their families. I started my business in October of 2014 and since then I have captured a wedding, beautiful children, families, an engagement session and of course the countless pictures of my kids. we took Jill's 8th grade pics to a whole new level this year. and i cant wait to capture her high school years. i have 2 more weddings, an engagement...
Monday morning it was freezing outside. The high that day was only going to be 39 degrees. So we stayed home! And I learned some things that morning...
..I learned that no matter how busy you are or what you have to do, Sesame Street is more important. I learned that its OK to sit in the floor and watch some TV. I learned that colorful goofy Muppet's make my son laugh.
...I learned that there was nothing in that hour that could have distracted him. I learned that song over and over again and sang it to him all day that day. I learned that he loves Elmo and is trying to say Elmo. Nothing warmed my heart more that cold morning than to watch him in that short time doing this. He loved the time as well. As soon as his show was over he walked over to me, hugged me, kissed my forehead and fell asleep. I learned that I was doing a good job in raising him so far. I learned that no matter what the day looks like for me, how cold it is outside, or how stressed out I may be....I learned that he loves me no matter what! No matter that I hadn't showered since Saturday. No matter that my hair was a disgusting mess. No matter that I was still in my PJ's. No matter that I hadn't started to pick the house up. He looked past all that and still (in his own way) let me know that he appreciated me. It warmed my heart that cold morning.
