There are so many moments that epitomize what it means to be a kid. Those are exactly the pictures to take of childhood. No, they don’t all take place in one week, one month, or even a year. They will happen throughout the course of a childhood.

These magical moments are the ones that will make you look back on those days with fondness, even if they made you cringe at the time (but I hope most of these made you smile at the time too. I’m not crazy though- kids are messy.. and loud.. and wild!). So many of these pictures are taken with my phone. Don’t limit yourself- the important thing to remember is capturing the moment.
