I’m trying really hard to make a real effort to photograph my own life more. I’ve gotten in to the habit of only bringing out my camera when I’m working, which used to be rare for me. I used to photograph my son constantly and he complained about it all the time! The busier I get the more I’m finding I don’t bring my camera out just to play around and to capture things around me. This year I’m trying hard to change that and to really stop and look around and document my own life, my own family, the things I love or interest me.
To photograph my own son is a challenge. I’m his mom, I’ve taken a million photos of him and he’s over it…lol! He makes funny faces, he squirms and complains…but I figure…that’s who he is, that’s what makes me laugh…that’s what makes him HIM. So here he is…I can’t get over how grown up he’s looking…it reminds me to make the effort, to really get my camera out and capture him every single day…
