This is one of those little moments I just wanted to share.
A few days ago, I was at Costco and saw an older couple. Something about the gentleman looked so familiar, but I couldn’t figure out why.
I kept thinking, *I know him. I’ve seen him before.*
And then today, it finally clicked.
About three years ago, I worked as an assistant and editor for another photographer. I edited countless galleries during that time, and somehow, I remembered this couple.
I believe their portraits were for their 50th anniversary. I remember how beautiful they were and how special they felt.
I wasn’t their photographer. I was simply the person behind the scenes editing their images, so I would never take credit for the photographs.
But their photos stayed with me.
They had no idea who I was. They probably still don’t. Yet, years later, seeing them for just a moment in Costco brought all of that back.
It made me think about how photographs can leave an impact in ways we don’t always realize.
Sometimes you’re creating memories for someone else… and without knowing it, they become a small part of your own story, too.
I just thought that was pretty special. 😊🥹
