Moms are always behind the camera right? I have to admit that I've been avoiding any photographic evidence of myself these days. If I'm not showered, and done up I avoid the camera like the plague. Most days, I attempt to rock a 2 day old ponytail while wearing my standard daily attire of sweats, mismatched socks and t-shirts that almost always have a bit of something Sienna ate that day on them. Attractive right?
While I'm far from a put together looking mom,
she doesn't care about that
she doesn't care what color my toe nails are painted {or if they're painted at all}
or if I'm wearing the most hideous pajamas ever
or that my hair is a mess
she cares that I'm HERE
that I make her giggle
that I make her feel safe
that I play with her
and most importantly that I love her to pieces
One day when she looks back at photos, I want her to see me, documented, sitting there beside her with my flaws and all. I want her see the way I looked at her & how much I loved her. Though I'm far from looking perfect I've made a commitment to myself to step out from behind the camera more starting today
Moms--stay in the picture with your kids, they'll thank you one day.
