School is out for summer (or almost), and while I'm sure we'll all be hearing "I'm bored!" within the next day or two... I've been in my feels lately. ❤️
I've been photographing some of this year's seniors, and several of them are kids I've photographed since they were little. Watching them graduate has really put time into perspective for me.
One minute they're tiny kids running around during a family session, and the next they're walking across a stage preparing for their next chapter.
As a mom myself, it's been a reminder that these years go so incredibly fast.
Be present.
Say yes to the popsicle run.
Say yes to staying a little longer at the park.
Say yes to the movie night, the messy crafts, the extra snuggles, and the adventures you'd rather skip because you're tired.
The dishes can wait.
The laundry can wait.
Our babies won't.
So here's your reminder from a photographer who gets a front-row seat to watching children grow up: soak it all in this summer. The days can feel long, but you'll blink and they'll be all grown up. ❤️
Now... how long before your kids tell you they're bored? 😂☀️
