Life is in the details....

People often ask me why I take pictures of what seem like ordinary moments. My reply is always, "Life is in the details." It isn't Christmas morning and birthday parties(although I photograph these too) it is in moments where a father takes the time to decorate a gingerbread house with his 4 year old son, where a mother makes homemade popsicles just to watch the joy on her son's face when he eats them or when a little boy finds a lizard in the yard and follows it around with his magnifying glass so he can see "the scales and claws." The magic is in the details.
