I have so many favorite photos, but a few stick out as being just a little more special. Not necessarily because they're the best of the best, but because they have a story. They represent a memory captured in time, a moment that will never be forgotten. And after all, isn't that what photography is all about.
These first two I chose because my oldest son, Gabe, who was five at the time, took these photo. They are of me and my daughter, Chloe. We were outside and I was suppose to be taking photos of my children, when Gabe wanted to take a turn behind the lens. I couldn't believe it when I pulled up the photos on the computer and saw what awesome images he had captured. I will treasure these photos of me and my daughter always.
This next photo was a lucky shot. I love it when I'm able to catch the kids doing what they do best, having fun. This is Gabe and his brother, Cooper, having fun wrestling in the yard. I like this photo because it's spontaneous and natural, and it captures two brothers having a great time together, which is so evident on both of their faces. And I LOVE the gum sticking out of Gabe's mouth. Priceless.

I like the way you explained why the pictures are meaningful to you. This reason is why I love taking photos. It's not always about the actual photo but about the memories behind it..
PS.Speaking of photos! Guess what?!? Tyra's sister is getting married in May and wants me to take the wedding photos! It's an outdoor wedding in the evening so I could do it however it's a bit nerve wracking..
