Being 2

When I was 2 years old I remember…absolutely nothing. I mean I barely remember 6th grade and I try and block Jr. High, because really – who has pleasant memories from the most awkward era of your life? The memories start flowing more consistently in high school. I’m not sure what that says about my brain, but I really don’t want to know.

But when I get a chance to photograph the young kids, I am always reminded about the simple things and what it was like being 2. Hanging with little Kylie and her mom Jennifer for some Christmas portraits was so much fun! Not only did I get to see the rock that Round Rock was named after, I was reminded that wearing a dress shouldn’t stop you from climbing, swings are really the best thing in the world, waterfalls are fascinating and when all else fails just throw leaves in the water (and if you want to live adventurous, go with sticks). A child always reminds me that it’s the little things. So that’s what I’m going to hang on too – finding joy in the little things.

Always love for Mom!
