Being thankful is something I try to be mindful of every day. To thank God for the many blessings he has given is a daily task but I know I could never thank Him enough for all that he has given. Photography in general is something I am so very thankful of because it has fulfilled the need for a creative outlet and it has provided a tool to grow as a person. To capture another's family or a special moment in time puts a smile on my face.
One of my greatest blessings, of which I am eternally thankful, is my baby boy Wyatt. He is such a bundle of absolute joy and he truly lights up my life. This picture I have chosen may not be the most creative or the most technically sound but it represents a lot to be thankful for. First, it is my baby just being my baby. Second, Wyatt is wearing my Daddy's outfit from when he was a boy. My grandmother loaned it to me and asked that I get Wyatt's portrait in it since she had one of my Daddy wearing the outfit. I am so thankful for family memories and connections and for the gift of preserving those memories that photography gives. Third, this day was the FIRST time Wyatt had slept in his big boy toddler bed! Now, to truly understand why I am thankful for this third reason you must know that Wyatt never slept in his crib and always slept right between his Daddy and myself so for him to sleep alone in his big boy bed was quite a feat.
I wish all of you a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving ... May you take the time to truly appreciate all of God's wonderful gifts!
Now ... enough talking ... here is the picture that represents my thankfulness!
