Standing by the Christmas Tree, BFFs in 2009 and onward!

Me Ra Koh

I’ve been working through the last couple years of photos in an attempt to make some photo books.  Attempt is the key word. 🙂  Thanks to Brian’s amazing organization of our 250K plus images, this task is looking super possible!  (Shout out to my awesome husband!)  But seriously, where does time go?  How fast our babies grow–how they change in the blink of an eye.

Even with all the time I spend talking about photography, sharing my passion, teaching tips, I’m still caught off guard–utterly speechless–when I come across a single image from a couple years ago.  I’m amazed at how a single image can hold time still.  A simple “stand in front of the tree” photo holds all the beauty I long to see when I think about the magic of Christmas from years past. There is a time for photo tips and working to improve our photography, and then there is a time to just have the kids stand in front of the tree and smile. Simple but time will only increase its wonder.

Five days till Christmas.  May each day be filled with magic and simple wonder.

xo,

    Beautiful!

    I am also knee-deep in my yearly task of creating a family yearbook. Currently pretty proud to be caught up til June on the selection process… Maybe I will finish this by next Christmas! 🙂

    Even just the photobook I’m making for the current year has me stopped in my tracks. It’s crazy. Merry Christmas, Me Ra!
    PS Brian should do an organization post if he hasn’t yet!

    Is it wrong that it makes me feel a little better knowing I am not the only one who has a hard time with the whole photo book issue? I have found myself totally confused and overwhelmed with this! I love this shot of these two sweet girls & I had the same feeling when I was trying to get our photos together this month. I’m TWO years behind and it feels like our girl is growing up in front of my eyes.
