I\u2019m not going to lie, I\u2019m pretty much obsessed with taking pictures. It\u2019s not just because I\u2019m a photographer, but because I love to capture those priceless unposed moments when friends, children, lovers, and even strangers are just being themselves. I also want to be able to look back at an image and relive that moment. It\u2019s like when I\u2019m at the mall passing by the cosmetics stations and I get a whiff of a familiar scent. The pungent perfume reminds me of a time that seems oh-so-long ago.\u00a0Does this ever happen to you?\u00a0I don\u2019t remember the exact date or even know who was with me, at that instant, but I can feel an overwhelming rush of emotion engulf my entire body. My eyes close and my mind opens up and the nostalgia rushes through my veins. To think that a simple scent can have such a profound affect on my senses baffles me every time it happens. Yes, Vanilla Fields, from Rite Aid (yup I said a drug store) reminds me of elementary school. I guess this was all my parents could afford. Sunflowers (the perfume) reminds me of the painful high school years. Come on now, you know you owned at least the travel size bottle. And then there is Ralph Lauren\u2019s Romance that totally brings a smirk to my face because it sends me back to college and I remember, well kind of, how I had way too much fun! This is exactly what I want to feel like when I look at a picture. I want my photos to act like these familiar scents. I want them to make me or you get all warm and fuzzy inside or chuckle a bit over the tiny things in life. I want to remember every step of the way from\u00a0a head lean on a friend\u2019s shoulder to an a sister\u2019s embrace. These are the moments I never want to forget.<\/p>\n

Thank you to our wonderful friends, the Villagran\u2019s and their family for allowing us to make these new memories with them. I know in years to come we will look back and laugh, sigh, and maybe even shed a tear for the moments that we created. This chunk in time will now never be forgotten, but held close to our hearts because we shared it with people that we love and know love us, for real!<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, I am an instagram fiend<\/a>. If you follow me you know, but if you don\u2019t check out this ALL instagram slideshow<\/a> from our sunny trip at the river.<\/p>\n
