As a mom who spends her days chasing the whirlwind of childhood moments, I’ve come to cherish photography as a way to capture the magic in the everyday. It’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about preserving those fleeting glances, the way my child’s eyes light up when they find something new, or the quiet moments we share together. Each photo becomes a part of our family’s story, a chapter of real-life memories that I can hold onto forever. Much like the fantastical worlds I escape into through my favorite books, these images have a soul of their own, full of wonder and emotion. They transport me back to a time and place, just like a well-loved fantasy novel transports me to a new world, and in both, I find a sense of timeless beauty.
