Our lives are carved by a stream of memories, too many for our arms to hold.  Photos are the blessings that bring us back to the essence, truth, and beautiful moment so fleeting, that might have otherwise slipped away.  I'm honored to be invited into the heart of a family, armed with the job of collecting moments, big and small - and turning them into living heirlooms with the power to freeze time.  As a mother myself, I know all too well the race in which our children grow, and the numbing feeling of wanting none other than to keep them small.  You can simply never have enough memories tucked away.
