Just kidding what?

Photography. It's not about smiling children on a gradient backdrop. It's your kids (your teens, your family, yourselves, your pets) doing what you do when you're happy, and capturing that as a tangible memory.
I'm Shani, and I'd love to take your picture. Seriously.

Then and Now

I remember a time as a kid, when I wanted a retainer and glasses. Well, be careful what you wish for my mother always says…I got the braces, (that hurt and  pinched and made it hard to eat – but not hard enough to NOT eat…) and when I was 18 I got glasses, and haven’t taken them off since. So if you don’t know me, and or haven’t seen my Zoe post, you might actually believe that it is me…it’s not, but it could have been…and I know Zoe loves looking like me now, but will she still love it when she’s 15? and realises I am not as perfect as she thought when she was 5?

and anyway…how do I tell her, that as my journey of conquering my fears and fulfilling me dreams, I am going to try contact lenses?

Those were the days...

When I was a kid, I actually wanted freckles, braces, and glasses – lol! Shani, I’m going to make sure you get contacts – I just got them myself :) xoxo
