I am so honored and lucky to be the official ‘unofficial’ school photographer for my son’s elementary school. This is my 3rd year doing this. I get to photograph the school events and the day-to-day activities of the kids and then share them with the school and the parents. I’ve been thanked time and time again for what I do, but honestly, it’s me who must thank them. I’ve tried explaining to everyone just how much joy it brings me to be able to do this, but no amount of explanation will ever be able to convey what I feel for the kids, school and staff. All I can do is show them through my photography.
Every year for the past 3 years there has been a school musical involving all grades that is so big the performance has to be held off campus at a theater. Practices are held 2-3 times a week at school and I show up for everyone of them so I can try to catch with my camera the joy these children are feeling. If I’m having a bad day, these kids make my day better. If I’m already having a good day, these kids make my day great! Everyday I fall a little bit more and more in love with them. What a joy. What a gift. Truly, I am blessed.
