Recently I have been very quiet … for the first time after starting my newborn photography business I was able to take some time off and concentrate on my family. It might seem an easy decision but running your own business requires you to be constantly on call and there is never a right time to go an holiday. Going away for such a long period means to turn down clients that would love their newborn being photographed and of course newborns are newborns only for their first few weeks of life…so yes I have lost some business but I have gained so much from spending time with my own kids and family. It has been amazing seeing them happy, free and full of joy! As you might already know our families live in Italy and the kids had the opportunity to get to know Great Grandma, the grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins and to feel part of a bigger family! Let me just say that one day granny organised a lunch and we were 27 at the table!
I have taken plenty of pictures with my Iphone to document our trip. I know the quality is not the best but I wanted to remember those special moments without scaring the kids away with my big camera. They will never be this little again so any image it is a precious gift for me and for them. They will be able to see how everybody looked like, how tiny and how loved they were. Photography opens the door into the past keeping memories alive in the future.
