It’s the end of the school year chaos! Graduations, ceremonies, playoff games , proms, recitals etc . A stressful but blessed time of the year! So I’ve been a little ‘MIA’.
This year one of my babies is graduating & I’ve been on this roller coaster of emotions trying to soak it all in. Twelve years ago, I posted her first day of kindergarten pictures. I wrote how emotional I was watching her walk away, because I couldn’t grasp that 5 years flew by and she was ready to become a student . I explained that it was moments like that, that made me so passionate about photography. I knew that the day would come and I would want to look back on those images and feel all the feels I did that day. Time is a thief. It’s doesn’t stop as much as we would like it too. I said it 12 years ago and I’ll continue to say it again. You will NEVER regret taking pictures. Freezing those moments so you can go back and relive it all again. Memories is all we are left with! The best investment is making those memories and capturing them!
And with that being said… I blinked and here she is! She will graduate Friday , turn 18 next week and the next chapter will begin! My against all odds embryo, my bedridden pregnancy, my 4lb 33 week preemie! I’m having a hard time accepting that this is reality . Motherhood comes with some intense emotions, but of them all, PROUD is what I love the most. Being a parent doesn’t come with instructions! It’s been 18 years of the guessing game , the hope that I’m doing it right, the questioning of how will I survive this stage , the mom guilt that consumes you, the laugh, the tears and many mistakes and lessons learned . I’m beyond proud of her and I’m proud of myself. She did it, we did it! 👏🏻. Congratulations to all the graduates and the parents! I’ll be drowning in my tears this weekend but be back to updating and posting all the beautiful families I’ve gotten blessed to work with soon. ♥️ .nusss
