Why I Take the Photos

I started taking photos because I was afraid of forgetting.

Not the big milestones—we tend to remember those. I wanted to remember the smaller pieces of life that quietly slip away with time. The way home used to feel. The people I loved in ordinary moments. The laughter, the little habits, and the everyday routines you never realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.

I have one beautiful daughter, and now she has a family of her own. Watching her grow has taught me just how quickly the years pass and how important it is to treasure every season.

By the time she graduated from high school, I had created 17 scrapbooks—one for every year of her life. Page by page, they documented her childhood and the story of her becoming the amazing woman she is today. I still love sitting down, opening those books, and being transported back to moments I might otherwise have forgotten.

And now, life has come full circle.

I have the incredible joy of photographing her little ones and documenting their childhood, too. Tiny hands. Sweet smiles. Big personalities. Ordinary days that I know won’t feel ordinary someday.

Being a grandma is such a blessing, and I am absolutely loving this season of life.

Maybe that’s why photography means so much to me. I’m not simply taking pictures. I’m preserving pieces of a life—because today’s ordinary moments become tomorrow’s most treasured memories. ❤️
