Ezra, Age 3 Oil on canvas, Memphis, TN
All moms understand how fleeting childhood is. As a first time mom to an 18-month old, I have to continually remind myself to cherish this time. It can be hard, but it’s also so full of joy and amazement. Caring for this precious bundle of joy has made me so grateful to be a mom. When I think of him I’m just filled with love and awe. I’m already missing him at this age and he’s not even two!
So I know how moms feel watching their little ones grow and change so fast. The time between 2 and 5 years of age is the most precious because it’s so fleeting.
It makes me want to hold onto it and capture it so much. That’s why I’m so glad to be able to do these portraits for myself and for my clients. To help them capture what is truly a precious time. Your kids are only young once, and then they become little adults. It happens so fast these days!
Don’t let it slip away. Preserve this time in a special way.
