An afternoon with Eli, Atlanta Family Photographer

When every day feels the same, it can seem like there is no way you will possibly ever forget how you spend your days.

And then silently, the days shift. Phases end. Toys sift to the bottom of the toy bin. The games you play together change. You move to a different home. You get new pets. Teeth fall out and grow back in. Expressions fade and new ones show up.

The passing of time is loss after loss after loss of the things that get left behind as you move through life.

There’s no use trying to slow it down. There’s no way to bottle it all up.

It’s overwhelming to think about trying to remember it all. You can’t. You won’t.

All you can do is have a glimpse of that time in your life to activate the memories.

Photographs are our portals to the past.

Remember what matters.
