Yesterday I was finishing up Noah's 2-year-session, and this series made me stop for a few minutes.
It had not been easy, but earlier in our shoot I had gotten a shot of the entire family looking at the camera. It is nice, but this is it. This is the moment that you will never get back. In my own life, the photos like this one of my own children are the ones I treasure the most. In my opinion this is the best kind of family portrait. This is real. And because it touched me so much, I also converted them to black and white.
As we approach Thanksgiving, this photo reminds me of so many things for which I am thankful.
