It inspired me to make an effort to be in more photos with my two little guys, flaws and all. And while I have yet to capture anything as adorable as the one of you and Charlie, (or any photo of you with your darling family) I am so glad to have a little collection of "mommy moment" photos.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764050406814603955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321256.post-25204107067514795832009-06-22T23:48:08.094-04:002009-06-22T23:48:08.094-04:00I'm an avid photo-enthusiast and mom of two li...I'm an avid photo-enthusiast and mom of two little (and too-quickly getting not-so-little) girls.

I think we all need to get a different perspective on ourselves now and then, whether it's verbally through the kind (or even better, honest)comments of a friend, or visually, through looking at a photo. I find myself wanting more photos of me with my children, because they are growing up, and I am (unfortunately) growing older.

He is a talented and avid photographer (when I was little, I thought everyone had a darkroom in their house). I cherish it and many others taken when I was tiny, because he left our family not long after this photo was taken, and the photos are almost all I have of him now.Luisa Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310698422276446909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321256.post-32316260313469473722009-06-18T09:54:29.046-04:002009-06-18T09:54:29.046-04:00I thought your post on Whitney's blog was wond...I thought your post on Whitney's blog was wonderfully relatable. <br /><br />A photo that has inspired me in motherhood is a photo of my mom holding my brother in her arms and looking at my sister with her cheeks inflated offering my sis a chance to smoosh her cheeks & play. It illustrates for me that love multiplies and that I really DO have enough love & attention for all of my kids, even as I stumble through the usual unexpected things that come up each day. I need that reminder, esp. when I'm at my whit's end.<br /><br />And what a nice giveaway!

I am usually ALWAYS taking the photographs so I am never in them - but with the new baby and all the kids coming to visit, I had to make Mike take on that duty. A small hospital room with 4 kids is pretty crazy and after 1 1/2 hrs. I was begging my husband to take them home, but when I viewed the pictures, the were beautiful and the interaction was beautiful! I am so grateful to have some real moment and real emotion shots and I think like you - I should hang a few on my fridge to remind me that despite the chaos I often feel, the reality may look (and should look) a bit different.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16212567004559927627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321256.post-5641740286612661662009-06-18T09:05:35.123-04:002009-06-18T09:05:35.123-04:00I'd love to win!I'd love to win!ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107387078104994223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321256.post-52973987277194095472009-06-18T08:11:38.949-04:002009-06-18T08:11:38.949-04:00Your photography is just beautiful.

My most favorite is the one you took of them sitting in front of a tree- he is just hugging her so tight and looks totally consumed with love for her. I also love the ones of him giving her raspberries her neck. She always laughs so hard, and I love having those moments captured forever. I think I like these even more than the ones of me with her because (a) you're right about being self critical...they're laugh lines, not wrinkles, right?... and (b) they are a tangible, and really powerful, reminder of the love my husband and daughter share. So thank you for helping capture some of those moments for us!Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292735907406399740noreply@blogger.com
