Legacies we leave

I wish I had the answers on what to leave behind as a legacy but truth be told I don’t. I look at all of the photos I’ve taken of places I’ve gone to and people I’ve met. I look back at all of my family photos and remember all the moments.

I hope that the legacy I leave behind is that of love, one for my children to cherish for years to come. I photograph to leave a piece of us frozen in time. A glimps of a moment forever engraved in our hearts.

I live in a little town in central Florida called Saint Cloud, a place not know by many. Here the summers are intensely hot and the winters are barely cold. It’s a quite little town, but seems to be growing at a very fast pace. We moved here around 5 years ago and I’m still learning about this little town. Our children live in Virginia and California, and as you may suspect my camera follows me there too. I’ve traveled the world and lived in many places, some I’ve loved and some well let’s say they didn’t grow on me. With my photos I’ve kept a piece of all the places I’ve been to and all the people I’ve met.

It’s easy for me to get lost in the rabbit whole of memories each and every time I look at my photos. The journey is the treasure, the moments, the smiles, the tears. It’s all worth capturing.

This is why I photograph!
