"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory"
- Dr Seuss
The true value of a photograph is often not appreciated straight away but in years to come as you sit surrounded by your grown family and laugh and smile and reminise together over those magical moments, the beautiful and precious story of your lives. Photographs are heirlooms and an investment in your memories.
Your child will never again be exactly as they are right now. Life is made up of fleeting moments, the most precious often sneak up on us without warning or fanfare then in an instant they have passed, they can never be recreated or relived each is special and unique. The giggle of a child, their small hand in yours, a lingering kiss from the one you love, the proud look from a parent or grandparent, these are the moments that make life worth living, these are the moments to remember and to treasure for a lifetime.
Photography offers us the amazing gift of preserving these memories. A photograph has the power to transport you back in time and remind you exactly how, for example, the light fell on the face of your loved one, how the sun shone warmly or the rain poured down, how they looked at you and held you close to them or how your child threw their head back in laughter as they made that same joke for the 15th time, most importantly a photograph can remind you exactly how you felt the moment that shutter was clicked.
This is why I do what I do.
This is why I am so passionate about the precious moments in your life.
This is what photography means to me.
