It’s so hard to believe that my little man turned 15 months this week… for some reason 15 months sounds so much older to me than 12 months….
As I’ve probably mentioned before, I spend a LOT of time on the computer… working on pictures, reading up on different photography websites, learning about technical things I have questions about… and being inspired by all of the other incredible photographers out there. I love looking at other photographers’ blogs… seeing their most recent work, learning from their experiences and sharing in this exciting adventure that we’re all blessed to be a part of. Recently I became especially inspired by another photographer and the time she spends photographing her own child. What a novel concept! I am thankful for the business & opportunities that I have been blessed with in recent months, but sometimes I feel like I spend more time photographing other people’s children than my own. Now, I’m sure if you asked him, Luke would be perfectly happy with this new-found distance from my camera… and I’m also sure if you asked any of my family and friends they would say I take TONS of pictures of him. This is true, for some people, but for a photographer’s child, not so much.
So, it’s my new mission to work harder at capturing the fleeting moments in my own child’s life… how quickly I see them passing already! I don’t want to miss out on photographing these times that I’ll never be able to get back again! I love sharing my work, even some of the personal images, with others… who doesn’t love showing off their child? So you may start seeing more of this little guy in the months to come… as this mommy/photographer works harder to put her camera in front of her own beautiful blessing, along with all of yours.
