Just take a moment… || Mount Forest Family Photographer

Just take a moment. 


Think about those in your life and how you feel about them. How would your life be if they were gone. What would that do to you. Where would you turn for comfort. When would you even begin to truly miss them and what they were to you. 


Why… is what you will ask yourself as to where all your memories are… 


Sure we all have many memories in our head we can think of and daydream about, however when that person is gone, that is when we truly begin to miss so much more about that person than we ever thought we loved them for. 


Having the personal experience myself of losing my mother in law just 2 months before our wedding and then not even a year later losing my dads best friend who was like a 2nd father to me, then my grandfather just a few months later and since that year some other loved ones. It wasn’t until we lost my mother in law, my husband lost his MOM, that it really hit us that sure we have memories of her in our hearts but we didn’t have one photo of HER + US together… 


Since our wedding and then the birth of our children, my passion for art and photography has been re-ignited. Even my husband and father who are not camera people at all… have succumbed to my desire for our precious family memories to be captured at any moment I can. 


It is unfortunate but you just never know. And trust me when that time comes, its much too late. 


I happened across this blog today from another photographer on Facebook that truly reminded me of this…

I may take a LOT of photos… however I am determined to capture any and all memories I can for our family. 


Although this is a selfless post, a post to remind my own family, friends and clients to take the time to take the photos. Whether you hire me or an associate to photograph your family, please do remember to take those daily photos – perfect or not, one day they truly will be a treasure!~
