Homecoming Andrea Jensen Photography
Homecoming 2021. For this particular session, for me, it's bittersweet. My last baby girl at her first dance of her last year in high school. Parents have no idea when they are parenting amongst the blurred days in what seems as quick as a single breath, your parenting days are over. We hear this all the time as we are doing the raising from those parents who have been there and done that but it's impossible to really, truly prepare yourself. You find yourself at the very end of raising your last one and trying to do every thing you can to savor the moment if even for just your very self. For us, last night, due to covid, we prepped a room in our house as romantically as we could for a dinner for two as they enjoyed a take in meal. My sweetie made lava cake and ice cream for dessert as they sat by candle light and talked and smiled and conversed. I just love that. They were pleased and it hopefully will be a memory they have for a lifetime. That's what we parents do. We make these last moments last as long as we can and somehow envelop the memories into ours by being as much of a part of it as we can. I'm so thankful that I'm a photographer and can capture these moments for me too. I wish we could savor every single parenting day like we do with the last.
