Wow, powerful for me to hear. First of all, it’s almost my story to a T! Capturing the real moments of my children is why I started. I do have to step back and remember to take pictures of my sweet babies while I’m posting this, editing that, snapping whatever. I can spin out of control. And you are so right about not being in the pictures!!! I take a million and there are barely any of me! I’m working very hard to remedy that. When I’m gone, I want my kids to have pictures of me too! LOL. Thanks very much for the article. Love it.
PS – photo attached is me and my hubby. No makeup, no hair fixed, hubs is in sunglasses but my kids will treasure this someday.

Thank you Gail. You gave us words to live by! This article has given me a lump in my throat! I’m soooooo guilty of the very things you mention in here! But I’ve been guilty of that all of my life. I’ve just recently lost someone very close to me, and I’ve realized that in all the picture taking, my children will not have many photos of me with them because I’ve always told them, “You don’t need me in the photo, you know I’ve been here because I’m always the one behind the camera.” This is such an injustice to them. I’m going to start including myself whether I like it or not, because my kids deserve to have the memories.
Thank You for such an eye opening lesson!
