Enjoy the little things,
for one day
you may look back
and realize
they were
the big things.

I’ve seen this quote hundreds of times. Heck I’ve even wrote it, okay typed it, on things before. But it hasn’t ever really hit me, you know to point where it made me stop in my tracks and say OMG, I totally get it. Until just recently, when I was talking with a another mother at a playdate, (I know so cliché, but it’s the truth) and she simply asked me, “What was it like when they were little? It must have been so hard?” (referring to when the twins were babies ). I sat there thinking of an answer and simply said, “Well, it was busy and crazy but we managed.” The conversation moved on, but I was still stuck, thinking about her question. I was devastated inside, sad, frustrated and even angry at myself. How could I not remember? Why couldn’t I remember any of the small things or anything specific? But the more I thought about it the worse it got and the more upset I got. Then I decided I needed to do something about it, like right that minute! But of course we were at a playdate and I couldn’t, I had things to do. So I went about my day with the those thoughts haunting me in the back of my mind. Later that night, I hopped on Facebook like I always do and that’s when it happened. I saw a session done by a fellow photographer friend of mine, she was sharing a sneak peek from a lifestyle session earlier that day. At that moment I realized I had the answer, that was what I had to do. I’m really not sure why it hadn’t occurred to me sooner but I guess it doesn’t really matter.

You are probably sitting there, thinking, well that’s nice Beth, but what’s this all have to do with me. Well, as you may have already noticed this has really hit home for me. I mean in the way like I really can’t stop thinking about how fast time goes by and how quickly kids grow up right in front of our eyes. So, I’ve decided I need to offer this to all of you and your beautiful families so you will never forget the little things. So a few years from now, when you want to remember the little things, that made today, that made right now, so very special you’ll be able to. You’ll have them to watch and look at and remember….

Yesterday I had my first “little things” session, here’s a sneak peek. Enjoy!

(P.S. I plan to share the entire session experience when it’s all edited and complete sometime later this week.)
