The Power of Memory | Washington DC Maternity Baby Photographer

October 05, 2020 in kate juliet photography, maternity, newborns

I have a terrible memory.

I am constantly forgetting why I walked into a room.
I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday.
I never remember movie endings.

To make matters worse, coupled with my poor memory is a poor accounting of time. Did something happen last month? Last year? Last decade? I just couldn't say.

It's a hard thing to accept about myself, particularly as someone who places a high value on memories and the past. I want to remember all the little things, but the forces of nature had other plans. No matter how much I might want to, I’m not naturally inclined to remember all my moments.

Sometimes I will have moments with my son where I just look into his face and will myself to remember. "Let this be something you will remember forever," I tell myself. "Don't ever forget this." I know that sometimes it works, but I’m sure there are moments I’ll never get back again. It’s not until I look back on our family albums that the memories come flooding back. What it was like when he was so little. How hot it was that day. How nervous I was. And every moment comes back to life like it was always there.

And I am so very grateful for it. For the silly moments that I couldn’t remember on my own. To remember his little face, how much younger his dad and I looked not all that long ago. How much we’ve all changed since then.

Studio Motherhood Session | Alexandria VA Baby Photographer

April 22, 2019 in baby

One of my favorite things is getting to watch babies grow. Working with so many families that see me for years is the best feeling. I get to watch the tiniest of babies grow into toddlers, big kids, and siblings. Creating those relationships is a joy. This is the second time Katie visited me for a motherhood session (you can see images from their first session here). Just her and her little boy in the studio, enjoying being with each other. They have such a special bond and I love how they interact with each other. I adore his little hands on her face, there’s no better feeling. Here are some of my favorite images from our session together - enjoy!
