Three reasons to get in the frame and document your journey through motherhood - Long Island Family Photographer | Hello Olivia Photography

Three reasons to get in the frame and document your journey through motherhood.

Some of my most favorite images are photos of my girls and I. There’s something incredibly special about capturing these moments with my girls. Even when I have to lug out the tripod.  

Here are 3 reasons why you need to include yourself when documenting your own family:

1.    You were there too! Look through your phone and tell me how many photos you’re in with your kiddos. I’d be willing to bet there’ aren’t many. Selfies don’t count count guys! Moms are often the ones taking the photos, behind the camera. That means you’re documenting your family’s beautiful day-to-day moments but you’re hardly ever represented in them, too. Your kids deserve to have photos with their mom throughout their childhood to have.

2.    We all know that babies don’t stay that way forever, but neither do the todlers. Or kids. Or teenagers!! Somehow, in the midst of the everyday  I find myself looking at my own kids, and wonder who these people are that replaced my beautiful babies!  It’s never too early or too late to invest in yourself and capture your own memories – or hire a professional photographer to take them for you!

3.    How would you react to finding an old album filled with photographs of you as a child interacting with your mother? An entire album filled with photos of her tending to you during every day moments perfectly preserved to cherish always?  I know I would personally love having those moments preserved – so why not start today?
