“Most days it feels as if the world is whirling around me and I am standing still. In slow motion, I watch the colors blur; people and faces all become a massive wash.”

“The human soul does not merely hunger for beauty, but that we feel most alive in the presence of what is beautiful. It returns us often in fleeting but sustaining moments to our highest selves.”

As photographers, we all know that exciting feeling when we see something happening in front of our eyes that we could have never planned for. Can we capture it before the composition breaks up and the image is gone? Focus on the now – a detail, an expression, an action, a feeling. Let go of any expectations you have and just SEE what is happening in front of you!amy-rodriquezAmy Rodríguezannie-manglesonAnnie Manglesonkimberli-fredricksKimberli Fredericksstacey-craftStacey Ilysekatie-brenkertKatie Brenkertmandy-jane-dalbyAmanda Jane Dalbymin-mohdMin Mohdkarlee-hooperKarlee Hooper© Summer MurdockSummer Murdockcourtney-keimCourtney Keimandrea-frenechikAndrea Ferenchik‎caroline-hodgeCara Hodgeangerl-ramseyAngela Ramseyjennifer-chaseJennifer Hughesesther-doraEsther Dorasonjia-stichSonia Stichmary-pat-reeveMary Pat Reevenorleena-hortonNorleena Hortoncelenia-baileyCelina Baileyamanda-fraserAmanda Fraserlerin-wheelessLerin Wheelessmariah-evansMariah Evansmaria-russellMaria Russellsherine-smithSherine Smithcaitly-tynerCaitlin Tyner‎

“Traditions are important in building strong family relationships between generations. Traditions are stories, beliefs, rituals and customs that are passed from one generation to the next. ... Being a part of the special things our family does, helps us to have that sense of belonging.“ Amy Griswold, Family Life Educatorjennifer-chaseJennifer Chasekarlee-hooperKarlee Hooperceleina-baileyCelina Baileysarah-swansonSarah Swansonjanet-crouchJanet Crouchabigail-faheyAbigail Faheychelsea-feldmanChelsea Feldman‎justine-de-fedeJustine Di Fedemariah-evansMariah Evanscarol-hornCarol Hornshokefah-soraShokofeh Sora‎sarah-hayesSarah Hayessarah-keeneSarah Keene‎cass-kigginsCass Kigginskensie-yarbroudhKensie Mase Yarbrough‎kerry-leeKerry Leebeth-crossmanBeth Crossmanliesle-sandayLiesel Sandyashely-wattersAshley Watersnicloe-hensleyNicole Hensleysarah-salemSarah Salememma-collinsEmma Collins(C) Summer Murdock | PhotographerSummer Murdock

“What I’m saying is I think life is staggering and we’re just used to it. We all are like spoiled children no longer impressed with the gifts we’re given—it’s just another sunset, just another rainstorm moving in over the mountain, just another child being born, just another funeral.” Donald MillerlaurafinleyLaura FinleykasskigginsCass KigginsSara*LappeSara LappemichelledianeMichelle DiannelexibrennerLexi Brennerchandra sandovalChandra SandovalAmanda BrookeAmanda BrookemonicahartMonica Hartmeganhooks http:::www.meganhooksphotography.comMegan Hookskellie brindleyKellie Brindleytanya limbTanya LimbnoralittleNora Littlenorlenena hortonNorleena HortonheatherchangHeather ChangkatiebrendkertKatie BrenkerttammyTammy WahlestherdoraEsther DorasarahhayesSarah HayesSiobhaininSiobhainin Seegerdanielle stevens photoDanielle StevensneekiryderNeeki Rydermariah evansMariah Evanscelenia baileyCelina BaileyErica MassinghamErica MassinghamAshleyWaters https:::www.instagram.com:akmwaters:Ashley Waters kimberli fredreciksKimberli Frederickscara hodgeCara HodgesoniastichSonia Stich(C) Summer Murdock | PhotographerSummer Murdock
