Embrace the Camera






I've loved this concept since the first time I saw it. The idea is that we moms (and dads) are so frequently behind the camera taking pictures of our children, instead of being in the pictures with them, for whatever reason...be it discomfort with being in front of the camera, or just never thinking to jump in there with our kids.




This whole movement is about creating these memories so that your children can look back and see the moments that you were a part of. As someone who lost a parent as a child, I can say that I truly cherish and love those photos of me and my mother, and of our family together. I love seeing her face as she looked at me, and at my dad and brother. I want my daughter to have those photos to look back on, too.




Embrace the camera today!
