One of the things I love most about being a mom is the unexpected moments that literally stop me in my tracks, moments that couldn’t be planned or posed, even if I tried, moments of pure innocence and pure joy.
These candid moments make childhood special.
These moments make up childhood… skinned knees, whimsy and wonder, drawing with chalk in sun, tenderly feeding a bunny, play and discovery, picking out a treat at the movie theater, falling asleep amidst a pile of books, hanging upside down from a tire swing and slurping up what’s left of the milk from a cereal bowl.
These moments make me so happy to be this boy’s mom.

Beautiful moments you captured here. Lovely photos!
Thank you, I take a lot of pictures of my little guy, but these candid moments are some of my favorites.
Man, he is such a photogenic little guy when he wants to be or when he doesn’t know it’s happening! Haha!
It’s crazy to look back at the photos of him when he was just 1 or 2! He looks so different and soo much older now! I wish sometimes that we could freeze time and enjoy the present more. I love him so much Tonya. And you of course too! XOXOX
Poor guy’s got a camera in his face so much of the time.
I wish I could pause time too, he is growing up fast!!
Those moments are so special. Love the photos!!
Thank you. Every once in a while, I get camera lucky. 🙂
