Photos taken during an emotional moment or one that will always be remembered are my favorite kind of photos and what I try to achieve every time I look through the viewfinder. No matter how much time passes after the image is taken, the same emotions will come over me when I look at it.
I went through facebook and collected some of my favorite memories from photos I was tagged in. I figured I should post them all in one place to get the full effect, and what better place than my blog? Here are a few captured moments that I will always cherish 🙂
