There was no shortage of adorable Wally footage today, but I chose this image because it's so rare that I am in any photos with my kids. I think most moms are the designated photographers for their families and it's sad because that usually means that they don't get in front of the camera much. Add to that my complete loathing of seeing myself in photos and the fact that I am a professional photographer (so my husband always defers to me to take the photos), and you have children who will look back on their childhood images and never see their mother.
But that's not good, right? No matter how much I hate to be in front of the camera, I still do want my kids to have images to show them how much I love being with them. And I want to be able to look back when I'm 60 and see who I was during these amazing years. So I'm going to make an effort to get in front of the camera more. I've been wanting to capture the insanely excited face Wally makes before he smothers me with kisses, and today I just about caught it. My camera is resting on the bar of the deck and I'm reaching my arm out to push the shutter release, so this is awkward, but I love it. I love it!

So what if you only see my chin and his head is cut off! I've got to do something with this image.

This is such a great shot Jessica! And, a great reminder that the moms need to get in front of the lens too. Can't wait to see more!
This is beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL picture, Jess! I love it!!!
Love the interaction between you two. And when you're ninety, you'll wonder why on earth you felt that way because you had great skin, color in your hair and an amazing family. :)
