"Daddy & Me" | Logan PhotographerIt’s the first day of winter, and here in Utah, that means we play indoors. This shoot took place in our little (tiny) apartment in Logan. As you can tell, Bryson loves having Spencer’s full attention. Almost every day, I have to remark on the way he looks at his daddy. And Spencer has earned that look. He makes Bryson laugh, he holds him during dinner, he even changes diapers. I absolutely love watching them interact and grow closer every day. Thinking on their relationship, I am reminded of our relationship with our Heavenly Father. He created us, and gives us all we need for life. He loves us with a love greater than we can comprehend and is always encouraging us to keep trying and keep growing. Spencer and I are alike in that we’re both always wanting to improve, but get discouraged when we don’t measure up to what we think we should be. God would never stop loving us because we stumble. But we won’t ever learn to walk if we reject the help he offers or decide that it’s not worth the price. I’m encouraged by the fact that every day is a new chance to be a little bit better. One of my favorite quotes is by Richard G. Scott. He says “We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.” This tells me that the vision I have for myself is attainable, but only as I work on it every day. So be a better version of yourself for just one day. Then try to be even better tomorrow. Improvement, no matter how small, is bringing you closer to who you were meant to be. Give yourself credit for how far you’ve come and how much you’ve learned. Because just like with Bryson learning to stand, it's always going to take practice, patience and a good deal of stumbling.
