I photograph to remember

I have a fear... its the fear of forgetting.  I know I'm going to grow old and my memory will be fuzzy and even though I tried to be present in every moment, those moments won't stand the test of time.  

I know, my clients have that same fear.  I know they think to themselves how quickly those moments fade into one another and become days, which bleed into weeks and there we go, another year gone.  

I know as a parent the heartbreak that ensues when you've felt like you've done your best to make just another mundane day something to remember and it just isn't enough some days, or maybe you hope its forgotten all together.  But there is nothing like the love and forgiveness from your baby, holding your hand, taking you to them, and letting you know it's all okay because I am right here - the same words you have told them over and over again.  

That is it.  That is the cure.  That is the moment that needs to be made timeless.  That is the feeling that needs to be remembered over and over again - every time you need it, it can be there.  

I cure this fear of forgetting by taking photos.  For myself, for you, for whoever needs to remember whatever.  

Through your annual family photo sessions I can show you what it looks like when you love your babies.  Then they will have something to show their babies when the time comes.  As time passes, the photos will be there to guide your future generations fearlessly into the aging process, promising grey hair, stiff joints, and laugh lines - but never allowing them to forget that their grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, etc were there.
