when i was first pregnant with dakota, i filled up several journals with my thoughts on the journey. and then came the quiet, peaceful days of his newborn-hood when he would spend hours sleeping and i would log his every coo and gesture. now that we're well into the toddler years (and quickly approaching the 'kid' years), i've slowed down considerably on my chronicling. i have to amend this. i want to be able to give him his early years in words, in images. i want his memories to be tangible.
this drive is what truly sparked my interest in photography. i found a way to give him these things through a medium that brings me intense joy.
i am continuing to chronicle. i am dusting off the journals. i am writing his story.
while he lives his life, i fill the pages.
