Anthony Thornton Photography: Be in the moment by being in the moment

When you’re being a parent and documenting memories at the same time, you’re there—but just outside the moment. Your children may grow up with countless photos of themselves, but an important part of the story is missing without you beside them.

Actually being in the moment matters because it gives both of you proof. For your children, it makes sure that their parents are woven into their memories, not just observing from behind a phone. And for you, it's a way of honoring everything you put into the life you're building for your family.

That’s what documentary family photography preserves: not just what your children’s days looked like, but the story of how you lived those days together.
