At the end of the movie About Time, Tim realises the true power of time travel. It isn’t to go back and change things, alter the past to have a different outcome in the future. He lives one day in the chaos of everyday life, and then repeats it, the second time taking moments to sit back and watch his family without worrying about work or fatigue or what’s for dinner. He can see their gestures, their interactions, and savour those moments of his kids being little.

That is what I want my photos to be for you. You won’t be wearing matching clothes and posing as a family. You will be making pancakes on a Sunday morning and your kids will be sticky and you won’t have washed your hair and there will be piles of laundry everywhere. And it will be your life. You will cuddle your babies and tickle them and then months and years from now you’ll go through your album and remember how sweet and fleeting this time was. You won’t care about your messy house, because you will get to see how squishy your baby’s hands were again.

And even better – you will actually be in the photos.

Let’s make some magic, friends.
