When I photograph littles in my studio, I am completely sincere when I tell parents how happy they will be that they captured these days for their own kids. These tiny humans are going to grow up and the simple moments will become a distant memory all too soon.

As a working mom and a professional photojournalist, I was lucky; there was always a camera nearby. But I often regret not being more intentional with their portraits. 

Even though I am incredibly proud of the young women my own former littles have become, I miss those days.

These are just 10 things I miss. There are many more that slipped by. Don't let that happen to your littles. Time is just so precious.
