It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words….. That is if you have it. Being a photographer, people look at my kids all the time and say “You must have a million pictures taken of these little angels!!”-in a very grandma-pinch-your-cheek-fashion. And while I smile and nod, I am now dazing off trying to remember why I haven’t seen any pictures from Disneyland..nor anything else from last year. I am very religious about instantly uploading pictures from portraits and weddings, yet somehow the everyday moments in life seem be to hiding from me somewhere. It is not always easy to whip out the big camera when you’re on a ride or laughing because your child walks out of their bedroom in some ridiculously awesome outfit. It’s totally unrealistic.It just is. I haven’t owned a point and shoot little pocket camera since Jr. High..so you have to know my excitement when my cousin Liz bought me one last year for Mothers Day. She watches my kids every week, and for every wedding we shoot, so she KNOWS the moments with my darling rascals…fly by. The only problem with this darn thing..is that I take pictures on it…and forget about it. Better yet, I loose it entirely. See, my darling Kyla is very into self portraits and photographing me when I’m blow drying my hair..so naturally, the camera gets nested between princess shoes and remote control cars in her delightfully cluttered room, when she’s done being artistic:) Over the last year, I have taken this camera all over the place-lost it for a few months-reunited- taken a few more-swore its gone forever-then it shows up in the car under the seat. Today, was the first time I actually decided to see what was on it…and thought it would be fun to relive a few everyday moments, that very well could have slipped into oblivion. It’s the everyday minutes and hours that tell the stories of our lives…and though I complain that my life is crazy sometimes, I think that what makes me love it…
P.S-excuse the low quality of these pictures. It’s point and shoot people..work with me here:)
Sorry for the blur in this next one. Vegas+ Tourist+Stratosphere margarita in hand=mediocre button pressing skills:)
