Photography, like life, is also just like a box of chocolates. You’ll
never really know what you are getting yourself into. Back in 2015,
I was merely the secondary photographer on one of this family’s
events. In 2016, they asked me to shoot a 1st birthday. Year, after
year, after year after that, we met for year end portraits. Even
during the pandemic. Who would have thought?
It took almost 47 years before this wedding happened. Some things,
I guess, are meant to happen and some people, I also guess, are
meant to find their way into the lives of other people.
I never really looked at taking pictures as merely a business transaction.
To me, it’s being allowed a peak into the lives of other people and being
trusted to tell a story. This bunch, however, has allowed me not only to
peak but to step into their lives over and over and over again. It is
such a humbling experience every time.
Thank You Gie, Dave & everybody. I will see you again soon.
