This weekend we celebrated a High School graduation with family. Often times nowadays I find myself putting my camera away to allow myself to be more present in these moments. I did, however, pull it out as we were leaving. I've lingered over this moment all weekend. In this blur of life we often don't stop long enough to see what's special right now. She's growing up before my eyes and one day soon she'll be following her own heart and dreams. Cherishing this day and moment before it's gone. Leaving the party at 7 with balloons, wild hair, and the happiness of just being a child.
