I found some old photos the other day and they brought back such wonderful memories….

One of my dad & I reminds me how much I love my dad and how grateful I am for everything he has taught me & how grateful I am to have him in my life….

It also reminds me of my own daughter Demi-Leigh – I think she looks like me though everyone says she looks just like her dad!! Maybe she just reminds me of me when I was little? Who knows….

The next photo is one of my ouma and I when I was very little. My ouma is no longer with us now but she is always in my heart!!

The last one that I found was a family photo from 1990! It is really special to me as there are a few family members in that pic that are no longer with us: My wonderful Aunty Kathleen, my granny and grandad and my uncle Hilton – who are all aslo in my heart! That’s the beautiful thing about love, it never dies and is always in your heart… This pic is also very special to me as it is when Ryan and I first met and one the first times that he got to meet my family, so it brings back all this efeelings of puppy love!! Also, my brothers are so tiny in this photo, whereas now they are grown men and JJ even has a child of his own! We’ve also had many babies come into the family since then, including my own 3 angels and it just gives me such a deep appreciation for life!

That’s why I am so passionate about photography and taking photos – they bring back so many memories and I can relive any of those moments just by looking at the photo…..

So this festive season, be sure to take lots and lots of family photographs – one day you will be sure to look back at them (or maybe even your children or grandchildren will) and remember this special christmas with fond memories… and their hearts will be filled with love and gratitude!

May you have a wonderful festive season filled with love and laughter and lots of photos!!!
