Every time we do a session together, it’s not just about the photos—it’s about the memories we make along the way. He’s always such a good sport, letting me use him as a model whenever I need to get creative or just want to spend some time behind the camera for fun. It’s a tradition at this point, and one that I truly love.

Beyond the fun of taking pictures, these sessions are a bonding moment for us. Life gets busy, and sometimes we don’t take enough time to slow down and just be present with the people who mean the most to us. But photography gives us that time—a reason to get together, laugh, catch up, and create something meaningful.

Self-portraits are important—not just for the sake of having them, but for what they do for us. They boost confidence, remind us of our own growth, and can even be a form of self-care. Sometimes, stepping in front of the camera is exactly what we need for our mental health—to see ourselves, appreciate where we are, and embrace who we are becoming.

So, having my brother in front of my lens is always a gift. It’s fun, it’s meaningful, and it reminds me why I love what I do. Until the next session—because let’s be honest, I’ll definitely be making him model for me again soon!
