Don’t Delete That Photo…
I had seen several posts on Instagram of couples looking so fun and whimsically romantic that I decided to look for a moment like this for my husband, Art, and me to capture. We were on vacation so surely this would be a realistic endeavor.
That night, we walked out from dinner just in time to see a beautiful sky swirling with a magnificent sunset. “This is it!” I grabbed my phone and tapped the camera option.
Y’all. It wasn’t pretty. No amount of editing, cropping, or filter-adding would have made this picture (or the several attempts that followed) look like the ones I had seen on Instagram.
But I’m learning to embrace something: it’s moments that simply happen, not the ones manufactured, that truly capture life.
