Photos by Candice Stringham

In the last two photographs, you can see my father teaching my son--first on a hike to some caves and second with a science experiment tested in the street.

None of these images on their own are perfect examples of photography. They aren't going to win any awards; however, they are going to be priceless memories to both of my children. You can literally see the love my dad and husband have for my children in these photographs. Can you imagine the priceless memories that would be lost if I didn't take the photograph because I knew that it wouldn't be perfect technically? Don't be afraid to take imperfect photographs. Don't be afraid to point and shoot. A captured memory is better than no memory.
