Fall has finally arrived!

I think Fall may just possibly be my favorite time of year. Still warm enough for flip flops but the mornings are perfect for a light sweater or hoodie. And who doesn’t love all the great fall colors? The red leaves falling from our horse chestnut tree in the backyard, the bright orange pumpkins covering the tables at the Farmer’s Market and the bright yellow leaves scattered allover the sidewalks. A/C has been replaced with windows wide open for fresh air all day long. Arrivederci humidity and hello cool breeze!

After downloading my pictures from the day, I find that I am rarely in the pictures. I used to prefer it this way since I’m not photogenic and don’t like getting my picture taken. Photography has always been a favorite hobby of mine whether I’m documenting a trip, a celebration or just an evening around the house.

Now that I am a mother, I feel like the picture taking has increased a million times over and it’s of whatever random or cute thing either of my daughters happens to be doing. Reading books, playing with their daddy, running around outside, literally anything and everything. But I don’t want my daughters to look back through the pictures and just see themselves, I want them to see me too.

So, I’m making a promise to myself and my family that I will try to be in more pictures with them. Even if it’s just one out of every ten pictures, I will be happy and I know they will be happy in the future to see our lives captured forever this way.
