Eli Turned Two

I’d travel all the way to Sogod again if it would mean I’d take pictures of this family!

There are families that I’ve met along my journey as a photographer that I keep going back to. Some became a constant in my life. Others were just passing thru. There are families that I would gladly document over and over again. I think it is something that I look for! A friendship that blossomed from a simple photo session.

I can’t remember all their names, but I do remember their faces. When you’re a photographer, names come in a blur but faces don’t. Because that’s what we focus on. Emotions are shared by one subject to another. And if only I could photograph energy and the vibe shared amongst the family, I’d gladly freeze that one too.

It’s strange how we tread thru life with the people we meet along the way. One day I call someone mam or sir. The next time I meet them because something was formed, a bond perhaps, I call them Tita or Tito. From being just a family or wedding photographer, I get to take part in every milestone. I get to call them my friends too!

I never get to say thank you, but I always say until next time!
