About 2 months after he was born, we took our son Reid to visit my wife’s grandparents in Connecticut. I don’t have any grandparents around anymore, so it was a special treat to have Reid meet his great grandparents (both in their mid-nineties)!
They were SO EXCITED to meet and play with him! Their faces lit up and Reid worked his adorable magic on them. It was a delight all the way around.
This morning, his great grandmother passed away. That was the only time they saw each other. Memories last, certainly, but the photos here are the ones I value most right now.
It is my job to be a family’s historian. To capture those moments that may never be able to be repeated. I take this responsibility very seriously, and when the kids move out of the house, when a family splits, or when someone passes away, these moments are even more special and more cherished. I don’t just take goofy photos of your family. I capture those moments and preserve them for you.
I don’t know how else to express this more clearly. My words are failing me and I am flooded with emotion. I am passionate about what I do, and I am honored every time I get invited into people’s homes to document their family and preserve those moments.
