The Hug

This moment, captured completely by accident is why we do what we do - and why we have deliberately changed the way we do things. For so long, we were rushing.

We rushed from one location to the other. We rushed to make sure that everything on our checklist was ticked off. Everything was fast. The pace was frantic; the energy almost frenetic and while we were proud of our work, we felt like we were missing something. We were.

We were missing life. The rush was preventing us from capturing real, unexpected, heartfelt moments. We decided to slow down. We stopped worrying about fitting everything into a five minute highlights film and gifted ourselves more time. We decided to focus on the little things, to take more time, to look for the unexpected. We started looking away from our checklist and into people’s hearts and souls. We are watching life unfold around us, and it is beautiful.
