I’ll Never Stop Taking “Too Many” Photos

A photograph is like hitting pause on life—a way to hold onto a moment we want to cherish and revisit anytime we need to.

I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. First it was the little disposable ones, then the fancy digital cameras in the ’90s, and now it’s our cell phones, with 47,000 photos and occasional warnings about full storage.

And naturally, along with all those photos come the comments from friends and family:

“Are you seriously taking another picture?”

“You’re obsessed with photos.”

“How many do you even have on there?”

And the classic, “Just be in the moment.”

But here’s the thing—for some of us, taking pictures isn’t just a picture. It’s part of who we are. Those photos tell the story of our lives…where we’ve been, who we love, what matters most.

Honestly, pictures are kind of my love language. Sometimes I can’t find the right words to say how much I treasure a person or a moment, but snapping that picture says it for me: “This mattered. You matter. I don’t ever want to forget this.”
And maybe it’s because I feel things so deeply, but photos are how I hold on when life is flying by. My camera is like a little safety net against time, keeping pieces of life I don’t ever want to lose and letting me re-visit whenever I want.
