Capture The Moments

I recently found a picture of myself when I was pregnant. ONE picture. As much as I prefer to be behind the camera, there is something to be said for having pictures of yourself. Before you are pregnant, while you are pregnant, after you have your baby, while your baby(ies) is growing up, when they have grown and you are in the later stages of life. Capturing the moment in pictures is undervalued, yet so important. What would I give to have pictures of my mother when she was younger? I understand that we don't feel we look as beautiful with a puffy face and swollen belly, but it is such a temporary condition and a beautiful time in a woman's life to capture in photographs. I wish I had taken more pictures of myself, during all stages, especially during pregnancy. Your children will cherish those images of YOU! I recently photographed my eight month pregnant sister-in-law. She looks stunning in those images. I hope you take the time to capture those important moments in motherhood and in your life.
