Mommy and Me {Dorie Howell Families}

Are you a mom? How many of us hide from the camera as soon as we see one because of various reasons? It is so easy to get behind one, rather than stand in front of one, at least for most of us. But I came to the realization a few months ago that if I don't start having my picture taken, my daughter will not have any visual record of her mom during her toddler years. What I see when I look at these pictures is all of my many flaws. What I am hoping that she sees when she looks back on these pictures is a mom that loved her more than words can say. Someone who did the best she could and devoted her time and energy to give her a happy, loving, secure childhood.

What do you see when you look back at pictures of your mom? Her extra weight, messed up hair or unattractive outfit? Or do you see what I want my daughter to see? Take time to get in the picture, don't hide from the camera, make sure your children will have a visual record of you during their childhood.

Mother's Day is fast approaching. When was the last time you had a great photograph taken? A picture that you were proud to give to your family or even put in a frame and display around the house. I have a great special right now for all you moms out there.

    Dorie you brought tears to my eyes with this message. You are so right and I hope to start taking more pictures with my daughter, not just of my daughter.
