Last week I photographed my niece's engagement photos. Its hard to imagine that the little girl that wanted to be the "lellow" Power Ranger and at four, was determined to only wearing dresses that "worked" (twirled properly when she spun) is old enough to have made me a great-aunt and is getting married.
It's made me think about how many other rights of passage I have photographed for my family over the years. I've photographed our elders that are now gone and babies that left us too soon. I've been there for momentous occasions in their lives and documented them for over 10 years now.
I am the archivist for the family. I scrapbook and keep all the photos and memories associated with all the ebbs and flows of over 50 people that I am blessed to call family.
Its a humbling realization that I don't take lightly.
