"Ever since I was a little girl I have loved photography. I remember growing up and sitting around looking through old photo albums and hearing stories about loved ones. There's something about photographs that can make a person smile from the inside. It can take you back to a moment in time or make you feel things you haven't felt in a long time.

Now that I'm a mom I love capturing moments of my own family. My home is filled with these moments and we often spend time reminiscing about when the photo was taken and what was happening at the very moment. I love capturing all the firsts, too. The first step, the first time they rode a bike, first day of school, and so many more to come that I can't wait to capture.

You'll often find me scrolling through my phone at night once the kids are in bed and smiling. It's these little moments that one day I hope they smile at, too. Every photograph has a story to tell and I feel so blessed that I get to share them." - @nikkiandal (Toronto, ON)
