Photography that captures extrodinary moments in every day life really gets me, and since I found this gorgeous set of portraits by Hideaki Hamada over the weekend I haven’t been able to stop going back to them! These little boys Haru and Mina, and their father has been taking photos of them since they were born.

The photos are so inventive and charming that they made me nostalgic for a childhood in Japan that’s not my own. I think my Must Visit list just got a little longer, my baby fever just went up a degree, and that I need to carry my camera with me a little more!
