Photo sessions with the kids are like catching bubbles. You try to capture moments of their childhood. Most of the time you just get dazed by the colours and spinning and by the time you reach out to catch the floating sphere little drops sprinkle your nose as they pop. You almost wonder if they were really there.
For me it's not about memories or perfectly captured moments. The photos are little keys that free the real memories inside your senses.
Henry does things every now and then and they remind me about what Isabelle used to do when she was a peanut.
Photos do the same to a much smaller degree. Most of the time it's not really the people in the photos that I love. It's the toy tossed to the side that you had forgotten. The tea towel on the counter in the background that you remember. The bowl of strawberries off to the side on the table. The pillow on the couch that's from the sofa we call Jesse's couch. The beach ball Henry's holding that we got for Isabelle's first birthday party.
Sara got some great shots of the kids. She has a daughter of her own and has learned what to try and when to give the kids their space.
The kids had a blast and I can't wait to get the portraits home.
