My whole life has been documented and saved in snap shots. Every birthday, Christmas and even things as small as playing dress up. My Mom has been there, camera in hand, carefully preserving moments for my future self to look back on. Most of the time when I was younger the yearly photo shoots were a chore. Every time I saw that camera I rolled my eyes “another photo?” I would say. But in the past years I have developed a different point of view. As much as I loathed the pictures back then I love them now. I feel very special to have endless memories to look back on.
When I started thinking about what I wanted for my birthday, a photo shoot came to mind . . . documenting my young love story. I met Nikeese at the podcast we were both in called I Can Relate. We I instantly started to click. Now almost two years later we’re here and I’m so grateful to have this memory where our story together is just beginning. I can’t thank my mom enough for showing me the magic of photography.
