Happy {Birthday} Brenna - {Capturing} Special Moments!

Today, my baby turns five.  To say that I can't believe that she is five is an understatement.  It seems like yesterday that we found out we were pregnant with our third child - the completion of our family.  As if being pregnant wasn't wonderful enough, after two boys, we were having our little girl.  

I have taken many portraits of my children over the years and love that so many special moments have been captured - frozen memories that will last forever.  Over the weekend, Brenna had a couple friends over for her "Fancy Nancy Party".  

As I stood with my daughter in celebration, took her picture as she blew out her candles and watched my baby enjoy knowing that she was big enough to go to Kindergarten, I realized that in a few years, I will probably not remember what the decorations looked like or what the cake looked like, but I wouldn't have to recall the details, as I captured them with my camera.  

Those frozen memories will be documented to share with Brenna and I can send her a portrait when she is planning her own five-year-old's birthday party and say, "Look... remember when you loved Fancy Nancy and wanted that as your party when you turned five"!!  In my profession, I love knowing that I can give that moment to other people, too!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info
