I love taking pictures,
Capturing moments, feelings, gorgeous things
My Mom doesn’t like getting her picture taken;
Not unless her makeups done, hair out of her face, smiling correctly
I don’t want to live with a camera in front of my face, but I won’t settle for the prepared pictures either
It’s why I cherish the memories, my own personal photo collection
When she laughs so loudly tears in her eyes, because the author caught her off guard
The way her voice goes high and watery after she sees something beautiful
The scent of her shampoo, like a second hug
“Peanut” “Silly goose” “Brat” all said with the utmost affection
Memories are the best candid photos
