As a parent, I appreciate my camera more than ever. I never understood the importance of photos until I had my own kids. My girls are my world and the thought of them growing up scares me, no more like frightens me. They are growing up so fast and I keep telling them they need to stop but Starr insists she God is making her grow up.
I wish these moments and many others would last forever but I know it's the process of life and with that I know God has more in store for us later. Knowing this I try to capture everything. I tend to be the weird mom photographing their child's every move... (lol) well maybe not that extreme but I am pretty bad. I am not sure if it's just a parental or because I literally have 3 images of myself growing up. That's not very many and I have always wondered how life would have been if I were not raised in the system. I've wondered what memories my mom would have caught if she was like me. I guess of past really does mold who were.... all of the good and bad somehow shapes us to who we are today.

Yes, I am an 80's baby..... the flower dress says it all! My girls may get irritated, annoying and even hate but this momma doesn't plan on letting up any time soon. My girls deserve the best that I can offer! I hope one day when they are my age and have children that they would look back and appreciate all the times I took my camera everywhere we went. Well at least that's what I hope ;)
My advice to all you mom's, photographer or not, takes pictures of your children! You never know what God has in his planes for us and our children deserve not only photos of themselves but of us as well. Trust me, coming from a 26 year old who has not seen one photo of me with my biological mother, pretty, ugly, fat, mess hair, no makeup I would still appreciate that proof of history.
Start snapping away moms!
