He was just a baby when I started this business.
We moved here from California when he was still punching, kicking, and spinning in my belly.
Itās hard to believe that same newborn I once photographed is going to be a high school senior next year.
I tried so hard to document everything, every milestone, every smile, every fleeting little moment. To be fully present in it all.
And somehowā¦ it still feels like it went too fast.
Those baby days are a blur now.
All that time spent chasing a toddler feels like a dream.
The moments that once felt so sharp, the ones that left me exhausted, questioning everything, have softened with time. The edges have faded. Whatās left is something gentlerā¦ sweeter.
When I look at him, I donāt just see the young man heās becoming.
I see the newborn floating in his tiny bathtub.
The toddler with sweet potatoāstained cheeks.
The six-year-old talking to a duck named Daisy.
The thirteen-year-old who hit his first double.
The fifteen-year-old who stepped into his first role in the school musical.
The sixteen-year-old who took his first discovery flight.
And all the in-between moments that carried us here like a wave to this shore.
I started this business because I was passionate about documenting my own childrenās lives.
And somewhere along the way, that passion grew into documenting these moments for all of you, too.
Because I know nowā¦
just how quickly they become memories.
