There is deep truth to the emotional journey a woman experiences soon after she becomes a Mother. This looks different for all of us but one thing holds true. We have a deep down immediate desire to be a protector and to fulfill our child's needs for safety and security. This kind of love is hard to place into words, but our children have a unique way of showing their "thanks". It may be seen in the way they only look at us, or a happy gaze they place by the sound of mom's voice, or it could be even be by the way they follow us around all day long seeking closeness. Their need for connection is strong and very much seen in the first year of a child's life.
Do you find yourself snapping photos of all the cute things your children are doing?
Are you taking these images for yourself or with the intent to share them with others?
Do you find yourself missing from photos because you are too busy taking them?
If you answered YES to almost all these questions, please read on.
I have a true story to share.
Little Jasper above is perfectly modelling my mood right now; hands in mouth thinking over which film stock I will adapt to capture all the cute babies?!! This may sounds like an odd wonder for an early week dilemma! So let me explain. One of the most important steps for a photographer is to determine the style in which they present their work in. As I update my website with more and more film photographs, it is important to show a consistent style. Recently, I did some testing with various film stocks and would love your opinion on which ones you are loving more! TRY not to get distracted by all the cute babies and moms :-)
Today, lovely mom Sarah, spotlights just how quickly a baby's first year passes. She shares her focus on the precious feelings that come with snuggling a sweet baby but also highlights the reality of late nights and the efforts required in keeping little people healthy. All moms can relate to the fleeing time and then also remember mixed in there were HARD days that seemed to last longer than 24 hours. Sarah, thank you for shedding light on keeping it positive either way, cause they are only little once!
