One of the most satisfying things about being a photographer is the ability to document how we change. This little girl was a ballerina at 6. I also photographed her last year (see her photo here.). Even a year makes a big difference.
She is still a dancer, and is rapidly becoming a beautiful young lady.
Here's another example of a really cute kid...
Who is also becoming a lovely young lady! Both of these girls are going to be freshmen in high school in September. Hard to believe......
This is why it's so important to take photographs of your children often (I'm quite willing to take on the task!). Although special occasions call for special photographs, you'll regret not documenting your children's everyday lives on a regular basis. We say we'll remember, but sadly, all too often we don't, and there's no going back.
