This year, I took my own babies’ preschool and kindergarten photos ❤️📸

And honestly… I wasn’t prepared for how emotional it would feel standing behind the camera taking their photos like I’ve done 1000 times, but it feeling so different.

I spend so much of my time preserving memories for other families — freezing little smiles, tiny details, and fleeting seasons before they disappear. But this time, it was a big milestone for my babies in front of my lens.

My preschooler, who suddenly doesn’t look so little anymore.
My kindergartener, missing teeth and growing up way too fast.
The nervous smiles. The silly moments between poses. The faces I look at every single day but somehow still can’t believe are changing this quickly.

I realized while taking these photos that I wasn’t just documenting a school year… I was trying to hold onto this season of motherhood for just a little longer.

These images will forever mean more to me than perfect poses or polished smiles ever could 🥹
