In my family, we don't celebrate birthdays for just the one day. We have birthday weeks where we treat every day as a day to celebrate. For us May is packed full of birthdays, Mother's Day, and my parent's wedding anniversary, and we pretty much celebrate the whole month. I wanted to share a few snaps I got from our month of May so far :)
Like most dads, mine can't stand having his picture taken, which makes it that much
more fun to photograph him!
My nephew and niece signing their Mother's day card for their mama :) I love how the scattered scribbles and funny looking letters are quite illegible, but they clearly say I love my mama.
John John is two years old. I was actually surprised how he had no fear flying down the slide.

Imaginations of kids provide me with so much joy. It's very easy to slip into this world and get distracted with things that don't matter. These kids always bring me back.

I love these little girl's darlin fashion sense. Do you remember what it was like to think you were a princess, ballerina, or a ninja turtle?? What an age for daydreaming!
This is a fun game we made up with the kids. We put tons of their stuffed animals on top of the fan blades- the fun starts when you flip the fan switch on! They rain down while the kids run and jump to catch them. I can also see other children getting really upset if they walk in their bedroom to find their favorite stuffed animals hanging from the ceiling. Explain to them what you're doing if you think they will be alarmed haha
Like I said before, all I really want to capture are, real moments.
I have had a fixation with time for most of my life.
I usually feel rushed and the urge to save moments to keep with me always.
Photography not only provides me with a means to create visually,
but it also offers me a way to freeze time to revisit memories.
For me, there's much to reflect on from every hour, each day,
and photography allows me to open my heart to these memories even once they have gone.
Do you some times feel similar to this?
I doubt the approaching
lemon sun−
that descending surge of shine
bursting into afternoon−
will last
more than
small seconds.
Instead of catching heaven
inside the throbbing light,
pearling inside
the silver moon.
It seems as though, today
I have time
only
to race fast
like a desperate flea−
