Before Tatum was born, Jeremey and I decided that we wanted to capture her first year of life on film. As often as we could, we shot clips of our little girl growing up and doing what we thought were the cutest and funniest little things (all parents think their kids do the funniest things right?) Soon our Cannon T21 became like a 4th member to our family. Even Tatum loves it, so much so that I caught her just this afternoon kissing the lense, haha. Though there is a full year of beautiful moments depicted in this video, you must know that its the behind the scenes, where lifes truest moments weren't recorded. The not so beautiful moments of being new parents, the moments of exhaustion, diaper explosions, and learning to the trust the Lord when we rather not spend time to wait on Him. The moments of growing and dying to ourselves, the moments of an inconsolable crying baby, the sleepless nights, the anxiousness, the stress and the tears. For me personally, the moments of being chronically ill, and having no idea how I would take care of my baby with each passing day were some of the hardest. All of these are moments that most of us would rather not remember, but they were vital to our character and relationship to the Lord who gave us this precious life in our daughter. Aside from that We are thrilled to have captured many and most of her first milestones during her first year. We hope this is something we can cherish and hold onto in remembrance of all the Lord has brought Jeremey, myself and Tatum through in such a short span of her life!
Love this!! cj
