I think I have found my thing...

I have had many discussions with my friends about what "My Thing," is in photography. So many of us are on a mission to find "our style." What it is that we love to do in this huge world of photography. How we want to represent what we see. How we want to touch others with their own memories. I love everything about taking a photograph, no matter what it is. Last year I started my "Caterpillar to Butterfly" Baby Plan. I love everything about it. Not only do I get to watch a baby grow. Means a lot to me now that my children are all so grown up. It brings back memories of my own being that little. It touches my heart. That first year is when the months count. After that you don't say, "This is my child, he is 4 years old and 2 months....lol! That first year when they are completely dependent on their parents for everything. Watching new parents learn how to BE parents. It is fantastic!

I also get to know my clients a lot more. Seeing them much more than I normally would. I just completed my first plan and to be honest, Cohen's Mommy is not just his Mommy anymore. She is now my friend. Thank you Kim for trusting me to capture your little guy. Now I am working with more Mommy's and Daddy's and I hope that I take away friendship from that also.

I also know just how much even my stinking snapshots of my kiddos when they were babies pull at my heart strings. I look at them often. I always have to show my husband too and we both are in awe that they were ever that little. So it feels really special to me to know that my clients can pull out their book from their plan, anytime they want to recapture the feeling of that first year. So I thought I would share a year in the life of Cohen. This is the layout of his book that Kim and her husband Travis will soon have in their home to look back on whenever they want. ;0)
