This is one of those times when I realize the true value of photography. I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers between two households and we are between  ages 10-29 (I am the oldest). Now that I have a son and have been building a family of my own, my relationships have only grown stronger and deeper with the people I grew up with and the people who raised me.

I look at my brothers and sisters with such fondness and it make my heart burst to see my son with my siblings and relatives. I took over 500 pictures in 2 days and could certainly have taken twice that! The images that came out of this past weekend are absolutely priceless to me. 

Document the important people in your life. Kids are constantly growing and changing and those who raised you will not be around forever. Celebrate who they are now and who they have become. A picture really does say 1000+ words...
