During the start of my husband's year-long tour in Afghanistan, our son was born. Our first little 'lovebug'. Like many first time mamas, I was obsessed! ;) Every smile, silly facial expression, milestone moment- I wanted to savor them all. It broke my heart that my husband would be missing so many of them. So I made it my mission to attempt to capture each and every one! I whipped out my little camera and started snapping but I found the image was not reflecting the memory I had in my head. So, I begin to study, practice (and practice. and practice some more!) until my photos began to look just right... like they were 'mine'. It's always changing but I sure am enjoying the journey :) ****************************************************** Jessi lives near Rochester, NY with her husband and their three 'lovebugs' Smitten Mama | Proud Army Wife | Fairytale Addict | Snuggler | Photographer | Daughter of the King |
