In the moment.
Captured by our little photographer-in-training, Aliyah (age 4).
There's something magical about flipping through old photos and suddenly finding yourself transported back to that exact moment. The faint chirping of birds outside the window, the distant hum of a car engine passing by, and the gentle scent of rain lingering in the air—it all comes rushing back so vividly. And then there's Brayden, sprawled out on the floor with his beloved stuffed giraffe, looking up at me with those wide, curious eyes, tugging at my heartstrings as always. "UUUUp, UUUUp," he insists, his tiny voice brimming with determination. It's hard not to give in when your little one looks at you like that.
Meanwhile, Aliyah has been mastering her role as "big sister" in every sense of the word. She recently picked up my camera and started snapping away like a seasoned pro—though I couldn't help but remind her to be cautious. Her dramatic sigh said it all: "Yes, Mom, I know!" After each click, she'd rush over to proudly display her latest masterpiece, eagerly awaiting my reaction. Watching her grow into this confident little person fills me with so much pride and joy.
Every time I glance at this picture, I'm flooded with memories. Not just of the scene itself, but of everything surrounding it—the laughter, the chaos, the quiet moments we shared together. It's amazing how photography can freeze time like that, preserving fleeting moments forever.
