Momma Time
I wish I would have thought to do this when my girlies were little...
I am always getting pictures of my girls...from the time they were born, I snapped gazillions of pictures of them...and I have a TON of them and Daddy too...
And, we do get our normal family photos every year...everyone together, playing...it's GREAT...
The thing is...I'm a stay at home mom...24 of my 24 hours in a day are basically spent with my kiddos...and yet, I don't really have many pictures that document that...
Oh, I've got oodles of pictures of crafts and playsets, drawings and practicing the piano, felt board stories and books upon books...
but, you know what is missing from every single picture?
ME...
Don't misunderstand me...I love those pictures...they represent a memory for me...a moment in time...
The funny thing is, is that it only shows a "part" of that moment...because the "other part"...the part that put it all together, that made it happen...well, SHE is behind the camera...
When this Momma came to me and asked if I could do a "different" type of session...I was thrilled...She wanted me to capture her PLAYING with her son...doing their usual things that make him laugh...catch his expression when Mommy comes to chase him...catch MOMMY'S expression as he's running toward her...
How incredibly fortunate for this little guy, that his childhood playtime with Momma is "caught on film"...he'll always have that to look back upon and see how he responded to Momma when she ran after him...what he did when she tried to squeeze him tight:)
I hope you can "hear" the giggles in these pictures:)
