For all the mums having beautiful mothers day sessions or having a lovely day coming up where your special people want to spoil you, let them take the photos. ❤️✨️
Mom doesn’t exist in photos.
She just doesn’t.
She’s either the one taking the picture, or someone was about to take it,
but newborn cries filled the room, and her baby needed to be fed,
but one of her children needed to use the bathroom, and she rushed him out of the pool, sopping wet and cold.
And maybe she doesn't want to be in the photo because she "hates" the way she looks in her swimsuit right now.
Or she deletes it because it’s a “terrible picture.” One where she’s at the right angle, where she has three chins, and a muffin top stomach.
But pictures aren’t supposed to capture perfection,
they’re supposed to capture real moments.
Moments we want our children to see when they’re looking back on their childhood summer memories,
so they know we were there together,
baking cookies on a day that’s too hot to go outside,
swimming in the pool,
laughing, smiling,
and enjoying each other’s company.
We show up everywhere for our children, but it's time we're more intentional about showing up in photos this summer.
Because it does matter.
We won’t always be with them,
but that photo
