Samantha is running home from the school bus stop with the
biggest smile she’s had on her face since you gave her ice cream
for dessert last night. It was the last day of school and she was
ready to kick off her first day of summer vacation.
This is a moment you want to capture.
Why you ask? It’s her last summer being 10 years old; her last
day leaving school as a 5th grader. That’s a memory you want to
keep because she will never walk through that door again being
an elementary school student. Moments like this are what you
want to capture during summer, special memories that will
never happen again. When you hear the pitter pattering of her
footsteps running up to the front door, get your camera out and
ready to snap that moment when you realize your little girl is
growing up faster than you expected.
It’s month one of summer and you’re getting ready to finally
take that beach vacation you’ve been planning. Make sure
to pack your camera because there are lots of moments to be
captured. But don’t snap a photo of every single minute you’re
there...pick out the special ones.
Take a picture of the first time their feet feel the sand. Get the
picture of your kids running toward the beach; full of so much
excitement they forget their beach bags and the sunscreen
session with mom. Capture the expression on your child’s face
when they realize the water is cold to a crisp and they bolt out
of the water screaming with delight!
Record the moments that can be frozen in
time with a photo.
The first time your daughter finds seaweed and asks you what
it is. Capture her thoughts and inquisitive expressions, even
the tears running down her face if she’s scared.
