As a photographer, I sometimes struggle with the balance of documenting my own life, and putting my camera down so I can be fully present and enjoy whatever it is thats going on. Then there are times where I feel like I document everyone else’s life but mine. So lately I’ve been bringing my camera along when we randomly decide we need to get out of the house and spend some time outside with the kids. Sometimes my camera never leaves the car, sometimes I bring it with me.
