DAY 32: 09.23.2020
Today I am thankful for the ability to make memories with my children. I am always taking photos of them and at times they get sick of it. Today, although I was very nervous handing over my camera to them, I chose trust/memories over my fear of being in front. I set things up for them in-camera as best I could and explained how to make sure the image they wanted to take was in focus; from there I let them do what they wanted. The smiles on their faces will live with me forever. There was no posing, just capturing life at that moment, from their perspective. Well, from theirs and a stepstools perspective, creatively, Ty wanted some height, lol. These images are not full of glamour, rather, raw, full of emotion. The loving embraces of a mother to her children, the need for coffee to get through the day, missing her husband while he is at work, and silent contemplation on how to get through another day of homeschooling, potty training, and dealing with the anxiety of a messy house because some days you just can't get it all done. I love it and I think every so often, I might let them do it again.
