Saving Memories with Photoworld
One of the things I love most about blogging, is that I capture the everyday… not just photos of ‘special events’ but those thousands of little moments in the every day. The ones that build the story of our family and our lives. Put together, they create something so special, something to look back on as our family grows up, and remind us off all the fun, love and happiness we’ve experienced along the way. I love looking back on the photos of my own childhood, recalling the moments that they captured and reliving the memories that they stir.
Family// I love my girls so much, seeing the world through your children’s eyes is magical. Seeing the joy that simple things can bring them, this photo from the first time we raised butterfly’s always makes me smile, they were so fascinated watching the caterpillars grow and change into butterfly’s.
Friendship// Watching friendships blossom and grow over the years, seeing them have their secrets and games together, watching them build their own memories, knowing how important my childhood friendships were to me.
Travel// My favourite place by far to visit is the sea. I love the sounds of the waves crashing, the smell of the salt in the air and the feeling of freedom and peace propeciafinasteridestore.com that the ocean always brings to me.
Celebration// Fires almost always feature in our celebrations. Birthdays, anniversary’s, solstices… we love nothing better than a fire, bbq and a garden full of friends.
While so many of my photos are preserved here on my blog, for me to look back on and enjoy, nothing quite beats a photo album that you can flip page in and hold. I love looking back through our family’s history, in the albums and photobooks that I’ve put together.
