Sweet Vivi always needs a minute to warm up to me. ❤️
What I love so much about this photograph is that it doesn’t just document a moment; it communicates it. You can see exactly how she’s feeling, almost as though you can step into that little moment with her.
And I think there’s so much beauty in that. Sometimes beauty is found in the not-so-happy feelings, too. In simply allowing little ones to be exactly where they are, feeling exactly what they’re feeling, without needing to turn every moment into a smile for the camera. Sometimes the most beautiful images come from simply letting childhood unfold as it is.
Photography can do so much more than show us what a moment looked like. It can show us what it felt like, too.
