Life update: I HAD BABY.
And it was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done in my life physically, mentally, and mostly physically as I had a few very serious complications that gave me and baby Leon Atlas a poor quality of life. On top of all that I dealt with the passing of 3 of my loved ones, and honestly it’s given me a new perspective on why I chose this career. I don’t mean to get personal, but I’m not sure how else to convey the emotions I’ve experienced these past 12 months.
Before this year of panic, tragedy, hopelessness, and anxiety I took my job of Photographing memories seriously, but to be Frank, not to the degree that I do now.
More than ever I understand what those photos of loved ones laughing, giggling, dancing mean to you all or the sweet intimate moments shared with your baby boy or girl, or the the photo of your grandpa dancing like the first time with your grandma, or those sneaky glimpses your loved one makes right after you’ve said I do.
I’ve learned that no one photo taken of loved ones is insignificant to the other. Each photo holds a story encased with love, which is why from here on out every photo I take no matter how small the moment will be taken with love.
