Capturing Photo Moments

Finding ways to relive precious moments can be difficult without some form of tangible evidence that shows you actually lived those moments. Photos in all forms are perfect for the memories, and help keep them fresh in our minds. Growing up, I loved playing outside in our backyard. We had a huge above ground pool that we would swim in and we had a soccer goal set lined up from end to end of our yard. Although it doesn't seem like much in writing, it brings back great memories of playing with friends and siblings as a kid. My dad always took pictures of us, and we have some great shots of all of us playing in the backyard. We love taking the photos out every time we sit down for a family get-together.

Photos in the form of family portraits are also great for documenting a moment in time, and as material to send to the grandparents. A party photo booth at prom is great for documenting the event while it's not going on, as opposed to the awkward pictures taken posing in front of a group of parents.

Well there's my ramble for my love of photos. What do you like about photos? Do you like them more than family videos?
