Making Time Stand Still | Eden Lee Family | Utah Family Photographer

How Can You Make Time Stand Still?

When you first start having kids you can’t imagine ever forgetting what each one of them looks like in that moment. You patiently await the next milestone of crawling, walking, talking, starting school and on and on without ever thinking you’d want to make time stand still. This is where the importance of capturing those little faces comes in.

You’re too busy thinking you will NEVER forget those individual quirks that are currently providing endless hours of family entertainment to ever think you’d forget this moment in time. Long after the kids have moved out, you will want these memories captured to look back on and remember…the sticky faces, the loving smiles, the 1,000,000 “moms” that were said EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You get the idea. It’s your life, however messy it is, and you won’t want to forget it.

Your Beautiful Life…

It’s a fact that the busier you get the faster time flies by and before you know it, that parenting phase begins when you become more of a chauffeur and chef, than an attentive mom relishing in every tiny little moment and detail. Then it happens, you realize your babies are growing up too fast and suddenly you want nothing more than to make time stand still.  Your kids are your whole world, your everything, and when you look back on your life these are the moments you are going to remember.  The good and the bad.Playful moment of mother with sonBrooke Bakken captures sibling smiles in childrens portrait Wife smiles and embraces husband while Dad holds crying babiesUtah photographer Brooke Bakken captures the love Dad has for his three boys Brooke Bakken captures the happiness family brings in family portrait session

Even the Messy Parts

The crying, the cleaning up of the same messes and toy over and over again, and the never-ending noise that comes with endless snuggles and begging for one more story and kiss before bed.  It’s a beautiful mess but it’s YOURS and you don’t want to forget anything about it! Guess what?!  I have a solution for you.

Just the Two of You

Don’t forget about those rare moments when you experience a glimpse of that peace and quiet that was so present before sticky little fingers, endless fruit snacks, and a favortie Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode on repeat creating constant background noise in your life. Just the two of you remembering why you fell in love.Parents shown balancing a baby on each hipLove and laughter by Utah photographer Brooke BakkenBalancing act of family and couple timeClose up of husband and wife embracing and smiling
