Photo Journal

Each one of my photographs captures a precise moment in time. As I look through photos of my children in the first few days after their birth I am instantly transported back in time to a place that my memory has already forgotten. Were her fingers really that tiny? Were his eyelashes really that long?

My photographs are one of the most treasured items I own. But sometimes that image is not enough for me. I look through a few and wonder, "What were we doing right before this photo was taken? What was it that made him laugh so hard?" While a photograph may capture how the evening light made my daughters hair shimmer like spun gold, it doesn't tell me that when I picked her up and brushed my lips against the top of her head, her downy hair was as soft as velvet and smelled of her coconut shampoo. I think that is why I love journaling so much. I need a place to write the little details that I am unable to capture with my camera.

I have a feeling that this Journal is going to become a really fun place to share snippets of my photo sessions and stories of the beautiful families I will meet through this experience. Im not going to embarrass it with a silly word like "Blog" so WELCOME TO MY PHOTO JOURNAL. Im glad you came. I hope you enjoy your visit!
