Stories Untold
Being a mom is fantastic. You will learn more than ever, and be rewarded in ways you could never have imagined. You feel such a broad range of emotions and sometimes even amazement at what you created, but sometimes....
you just feel tired, and lazy and honestly a little stinky (yeah I said it).
Nobody wants to share these stories because it doesn't highlight the star parent your thriving to be, when in reality all the hard work behind the scenes is what makes you that SUPERSTAR mom (or dad) that you truly are!
The ever so talented and friendly group from the Everyday Storytelling (with the ah-ma-zing Deanna McCasland ) workshop I had the opportunity to participate in, have all come together to gain some motivation again. To remind us just why we love being moms and photographers, and no matter what crazy happenings are going on in the day to document some of it. The good, the bad and that's right people, the stinky! Haha
We have also decided to include a self portrait with every post, which to me is a tad daunting as most times there is a reason I am the one behind the camera! But I am so up for the challenge :)
Enjoy, I hope in reading these blog postings by everyone in this fantastic group and looking and the images from our lives you can see yourself, and know that despite whats going on in the chaos no matter where you look you can find a little beauty in everything.

I wish I looked that nice at 6am!! Love these! especially the cookies on the floor and him peering through the window. What gorgeous light!
ReplyDeleteLove that baby Cohen's sweet, sweet face! I am absolutely IN LOVE with the photo of his bottom half sticking out from the covers--what a character! You have such a talent for finding and capturing the light. So glad to be doing this with you! ~ Kelly
