not wanting to let go of my finger while my baby girl naps
giggles with my little girl
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.
My little lovebug and I on Mother’s Day. Can’t ask for anything more than a hug, a smile or a kiss from my little girl to turn any day into a great day! A very Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful momma’s out there!!!
“Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you’ll always be, my little girl.”
-Tim McGraw
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
My brother-in-law completely in love with his newborn baby boy. I’ve always loved seeing fathers with their children and it was heartwarming to see these two together. Baby Simon slept the entire time in his father’s arms, but you knew he felt safe, happy and most of all, loved.
My sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful, healthy boy Monday afternoon and we were able to be there just hours after he made his first appearance in the world. Simon Patrick was born on Monday, December 1st weighing in at 9lbs and 20 inches long!
My sister-in-law’s due date is fast approaching and so I am glad to have gotten a few pictures of her pre-baby arrival. Her tattoo still looks perfect and I loved the little heart shining through. I’m a big fan of black and white and this was my favorite out of the group.
