Take the photos. Even when you don’t feel beautiful. Even when you don’t love the way you look. Even when you’re convinced you need to lose 10 pounds first.
Because one day, you’re going to look back at these photos differently.
You won’t see the extra weight.
You won’t notice the wrinkles.
You won’t remember the bad hair day.
You won’t care that your outfit wasn’t perfect.
You’ll see you.
You’ll see the woman who was raising babies, building a career, loving her people, surviving hard seasons, laughing until her stomach hurt, and doing her best to hold it all together.
And you’ll wish you had more photographs of her.
Stop waiting to become the version of yourself you think is worthy of being photographed.
You are worthy right now.
Take the photos. Get in the frame. Let your people remember what you looked like, but more importantly, let them remember how you loved them.
Because someday, these photographs won’t be about how you looked.
They’ll be about how much you mattered. ❤️
Thank you Adena for these gorgeous photos.
