Time Waits for No One

Have you ever been blown away by how much someone's kids have grown since the last time you saw them? When it's your own children (i.e. you see them every day) the changes happen so subtly you almost don't even notice. If you're like me, you come across an old picture and freak out at how old your kids have gotten!

The crazy thing about time is that you can't turn it back. So often I've been deeply grateful for old photos because they help me remember what my children were like throughout the different stages of their lives. If I hadn't taken pictures I might have forgotten the adorable little faces they made or what they looked like with baby teeth.

For about seven years now I've been photographing Leti and Dimitri's family. I feel honored and privileged to have been able to capture some of the major events of their lives: their wedding, Leti's pregnancy, the birth of their second child, Olivia, and last but certainly not least, the gradual changes that have happened over the years in their oldest daughter Taylor's life. Next year she's headed off to middle school, which is hard to believe given that she was such a little cherub when I first met her.

I've picked out some of my favorites to show how wonderful it can be to look back. Can you see how much everyone has changed?
