As  I was picking up my soon to be high schooler from his track practice, I glanced in the mirror and saw a half grown boy peering back at me.  The first thought that raced through my mind was....how in the world did this happen?!  It seems like only yesterday that I was cleaning up endless messes, reading countless hours of "Green Eggs and Ham", and chasing that tiny little boy with boundless energy.  Time is something that we all too often take for granted.  I wish I had taken more time to enjoy those quiet moments with my children....  

At a recent session I got the idea in my head that I wanted to somehow capture and preserve these tender moments for this client.  My idea was simple....capture and preserve the tender moments between Mother and Child.  I purposely asked Mom to  keep the outfits simple, so as not to distract from the purpose of my mission.  I also asked that Mom just talk and play with her little one, to avoid having too many posed shots.  I have to admit that the result of my experiment was one of my all time favorite sessions. The connection was so simple and beautiful.  My client will now have this wonderful keepsake video and photographs to reflect on when she is peering into her own backseat at her half grown daughter....
