Enjoying Life

“When I fully enter time’s swift current, enter into the current moment with the weight of all my attention, I slow the torrent with the weight of me all here.” ― Ann Voskamp

To slow down, to focus fully on our blessings in each fleeting moment and recognize them as such, to be “all here” as Ann writes:  that is how we enjoy this life we’ve been given.

The photo above is one of my favorite images from a recent lifestyle family portrait session.  Lifestyle photography is perfect for helping families capture those fleeting moments.  My clients love these kind of sessions because they showcase how their family interacts.  It is relaxed.  There’s plenty of room for silliness, breaks, a cookie or two, and my job is to be on the lookout for moments like this one.  That boy’s smile–he is truly enjoying life.  And preserving that moment makes my heart happy!
