“I need to loose weight first” is a sentence which appears far too often in my emails from you. And let me tell you that it breaks my heart! So I thought it about time that I address it.
“But I need to loose weight first”
Being a parent is HARD. I know. I have 2 children myself! We spend 9 months creating this fabulous new life and then throw ourselves into parenthood when they arrive. If you are anything like me you spent most of your maternity leave drinking too much caffeine, eating snack food instead of proper meals and never getting quite enough sleep. Sound familiar?
Before I go any further I should just say that Dads this post is aimed at you too. In fact Dad’s are the worst for getting in front of the camera! So if you are a Dad who is a bit camera shy please keep reading!
Every one of us has a little something we don’t like about us.
I will be brave and share: I hate my teeth. I also hate a mole I have on the right side of my face. I have wobbly bits and stretch marks from pregnancy. But my children don’t see any of that. They just see a Mummy who they love.
Why are family photos so important?
Because now, more than ever before, family is the MOST important thing for us. It is something we treasure and it is something that we need to be celebrating! It is sad to think but one day we won’t be around anymore. Our children will cherish the photos that have their parents in them!
Think of these photos as priceless gifts for your children.
And I promise they won’t see the wrinkles, the bit of weight on the tummy or the bags under your eyes. They will just be so grateful for the photos of YOU for who YOU are.
So if you have been inspired to get in front of the camera and create some memories then I am waiting to hear from you. Full details on my family sessions can be found here.
