My Camera - A Mirror With Memory

Someone once said that a camera is a mirror with a memory.

I think that's why I love photography so much.

Photographs have a remarkable way of preserving more than just a face. They capture a feeling, a personality, a fleeting expression that lasts only a second but can be treasured for a lifetime.

One moment it's a thoughtful gaze.

The next, an infectious laugh.

A mischievous grin.

A slight frown.

A wrinkled little nose.

Or even a rolled tongue just because childhood is meant to be fun.

These close-up photographs of Breeley, Britley, and my niece, Emmie, remind me that some of the most beautiful portraits are the ones that reveal who a person truly is.

I love that photography records the feelings written across the human face: the joy, the wonder, the curiosity, the mischief, and the innocence that words could never fully describe.

Expressions change in an instant.

Photographs allow us to keep them forever.

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
