My dad walking around. My grandma pushing him on a swing. My papa playing with him in the yard.
That's it.
And somehow, all these years later, it means everything to me.
I'm so thankful someone thought to pull out a camera on an ordinary day and preserve these little pieces of them. I can see their faces, the way they moved and smiled, and in other home movies, I can still hear their voices.
I think that's the part of why I photograph families the way I do now.
Yes, we'll take the photo where everyone's looking at the camera.
But we'll also photograph the giggles. The hand holding. The skipping. The cuddles. The frog kissing. All of it.
Because right now, those things can feel incredibly ordinary.
But 20 years from now, the ordinary might be exactly what you wish you could have back.
