I came across this photograph again and it made me stop and look at it differently.
I took this some time ago. At the time, I loved it because it was one of those unplanned moments. A funny expression, genuine laughter and a little glimpse of the relationship between the two of them.
But looking at it now, I see so much more.
Someone has recently booked a photoshoot with me and it has made me think about what it will feel like to pick up my camera again.
I know it will be different.
I have always talked about capturing memories and those little moments that matter, but since losing Martin, I understand those words in a way I never could before.
The photographs I treasure most are not necessarily the perfect ones. They are the ones that remind me of him. His expressions, his smile, the things that made me laugh and all those completely ordinary moments that I never imagined I would one day give anything to have back.
And perhaps that is why this photograph caught my attention again.
It is not about a perfect pose.
It is about the laughter.
The expression.
The connection.
A moment that happened once and was gone.
When I pick up my camera again, I think these are the things I will be looking for more than ever.
The moments that might feel ordinary today, but could mean absolutely everything one day.
I think Tracey Jane’s will be a little different from now on.
And maybe that is okay. ❤️
