We all face challenges in life, some we can handle and sometimes we feel like giving up. I found my love for photography when my father passed away and I only had 1 memory of him, which was one small picture that I carried around in my purse. I then learnt about scanners, I then blew my small picture up and also tried to fit a picture of myself next to him. Back then, there weren't so many tools and free sites to edit pictures so I only used this website called Imikimi.com to just do custom made photos with the cutest frames you could ever imagine.
Today I am a grown woman, with a lovely daughter and I am very proud to say that she has the most amazing father on earth . When I look at my daughter with her father, I remember the way my dad would looked at me, the way we played and the fun times we had together. When I look at how happy I am today and how much I have changed since I've started my very own litte family ,I feel overwhelmed.
This is me and my significant other. I chose this picture to so how much we have changed in the past few years. I took the colour away to show how different we are and how we have became alot stronger because of the child we creative togheter,before we became parents we were just a couple of teenagers looking to have a good time.
Now, we are older and understand what responsibilty is all about. I am now proud to say he is now finished with school and has a job ,and is great with his daughter.. Personally the contrast of the photo showed the now and by me taking it away showed the after. I am a very reserved person and this blog has gave me what I have needed, a start. By this I mean a reason to write, I have not sat back and looked at how amazing my life really is.
I also chose this picture and did some color editing and also I included a Sunshine. This picture to me signifies how precious a child walking into your life can be, how a child can light up your life. A child is a blessing and everyday I look at my dauhgter I am in a better place. I am at ease, everything in my world seems better. Sure I may get stressed at times having to wake up in the middle of the night to make a bottle, or having to get up every second to change her diaper. But I have come to realize that , that is the reason I love being a mom. Pictures can all have different meaning and that whats makes it special. Besides having her name tattoed on my body I also had her feet printed with paint so that I can forever have memories of her as a baby. There is a saying that action speaks louder than words. But usually I would say that a picture says something greater than one can ever say. Its about taking the time to look at the picture and understand what it is really trying to say.
