Janine and I took a little time to do pictures of us mama’s with our own kids this week. It’s a very rare occasion that we even think to do this, which is sad, considering we’re taking pictures of everyone else all day long. Not only is it great for us to do these and capture our own memories, but for us to get the feel of what you all go through when getting ready for photos.
To set the mood of how our preparation went, I’ll share our texts back and fourth to eachother about an hour before we were going to meet. Also keep in mind, we just decided to do this on a whim:
Me: How frazzled are you?
Janine: No more than norm. You?
Me: Meh…all good. Clothes are tough.
Janine: I give up. We aren’t pretty and we barely tried.
Me: LOL…I didn’t shower, my hair is frizzy, and my dress might make me look pregnant.
Janine: Then we match.
Me: LOL…perfect. We got this.
The point is…we get it. We totally get it. We’re frazzled, busy, exhausted moms simply wanting sweet pictures of us and our families. And the funny thing is…when I look at these pictures of Janine and her kids, I don’t even look at their outfits…I look at their faces. I look at their relationships. I don’t SEE…I FEEL. That’s how your photos should be. That’s what I love doing, capturing how a family feels…not how they look.
To Janine:
I have so many photos I love from these. So many. You’re such a passionate and loving mom… woman…and dang funny to boot. I couldn’t be more blessed to have you as a friend, co-athlete, business partner, mentor, and plain old partner in crime. Enjoy.
