I'm perhaps not as well-rounded as I would like to be, but at this point in my life and in my photographic journey, I am primarily interested in taking photos of my children. They are fascinating and wonderful, adorable and amazing. A wise person I know said, "You’re going to look at [these photos] and cry because your babies aren’t babies any more and you don’t really remember as much as you thought you would about how they smelled, and how their voices sounded, and what was so important to their hearts." I know it's true, and it makes me a little sad, so I capture what I can with my photos:
1. the quiet moments
2. the milestones
3. the joy
4. the quirks
5. the connections
Eventually this will change, as all things do. They will get older and won't appreciate having the camera focused on them all the time. And I will keep learning and growing and changing and my own photographic style and tastes will evolve. But this is where we are at right now, and these are the photos that make me happy.
okay that joy picture is AWESOME :) GREAT shots!!!!
