Scrolling through my image collection early this morning, I teared up from the realization I am not only watching my families, friends, and clients grow through the images we create together, I am contributing to creating the connection they will have to the people in their past. Just as I have my own memories of looking through generations of photos of my own family, I picture the children of my clients doing the same as they learn who the different people were in photos. Pictures are so important for our children to understand the people that came before and helped shape them in to who they are today. These are some of my closest friends in San Diego. I have had the privilege of photographing them as a couple, to expecting, and as an adorable family. The black and white image is one of my favorites. They are the grandparents to this little cutie and they are the sweetest couple. The time I have spent with this family has been such a gift.
