Sunday Citar~ Borrowing Moments

You don’t take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.

So there I was, walking into the sound of running water coming from the kids’ bathroom. My youngest seems to have an obsession with the toothbrush, running water, and climbing everything in sight. I’m not entirely sure which part captivates him the most, but let me tell you, getting him down from the counter and out of the bathroom is not something he enjoys one bit!

Before I had to go through the usual routine of ensuring his safety (because, let’s face it, balancing three feet above a hard tile floor isn’t ideal), I quickly snapped this photo. I wanted to capture the moment, to preserve it in my memory bank. Photography has always been such a personal way for me to hold onto fleeting moments, especially when life gets busy.

I’d love to hear from you—what is it about photography that resonates with you? Do you enjoy capturing memories too?

Today’s world moves so fast, doesn’t it? Between work, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to lose sight of the little things. But moments like these remind me to slow down, even for just a second, and appreciate the beauty in everyday life. Whether it’s through words or photos, finding joy in the small stuff keeps me grounded.

Speaking of grounding, sometimes parenting feels like juggling plates while standing on a tightrope. Yet, despite the chaos, there’s still room for laughter—and maybe even a few candid shots along the way.

What about you? Do you have any favorite quotes or photos that bring you peace? Let’s chat about it in the comments below!
