In four very short (and yet somehow very long) years, something I’ve learned about fatherhood is the importance of moments — both embracing them as they’re happening, and holding on to the memory.
I hold tight the memory of sitting by my son’s bedside in the NICU the night of his birth, his tiny hand grasping my finger. It was an overwhelming joy to cradle him in my arms as a nurse took our first photo together. It is in those first hours of parenthood that one really feels the monumental shift in life and its priorities.
I treasure our first holiday photos together as a family, holding our young child close in our arms, celebrating the gift of his coming into our lives.
And even now, at 4 years old, as he runs on a practically endless supply of energy from the moment he wakes up, I value both the photos I snap of him hard at work at his play, and the moments when he falls asleep and I can hold him close.
All we have now are the moments we are given, and there is endless value in making the most of those moments. And one day, all we will have are the memories we hold close.
It is important to preserve these moments in your life. As Father’s Day approaches, I’ve extended my spring promotion, providing an opportunity to capture photos of your family that will be treasured for years to come. Click here for details and to reserve a spot today.
It would be an honor to photograph your family.
