embrace the camera

I mentioned it on facebook, but I'm attempting a blog overhaul, and started messing with stuff before I should have.  So if the poor little blog looks like poo for a couple weeks I apologize.  Thanks :o)

Apparently I'm feeling a bit nostalgic about 'embrace the camera' lately.  Another one of my favorite sets of pictures can be found in this post.  Especially the first shot, with her crossed little feet.  It is just so her.  Anyway, I didn't set out with those photos in mind, but it was one of those days I was actually showered and dressed last week, so while we were waiting for lunch to cook in the oven we took some mirror shots.

And my absolute favorite of our little photo session...

I asked her for a smooch on the cheek.  Which she usually would never do.  And she did, and it was a good one, and my heart melted into a puddle right there on the floor.  So happy I caught it.



If you have kiddos I highly encourage you to embrace the camera, whether you blog or not.  If you aren't up for it once a week, aim for once a month.  And they don't have to be amazing perfect shots or whatever.  Mine never are.  But I am SO happy I can go back through over a years worth of photos of Ryann and I.  I hope she appreciates it someday too.
