It's been awhile..

since I've blogged..or picked up a camera. For some reason, I've been in a funk, really unmotivated. It seems lately that taking pictures turned into more of a "chore" than a hobby. I was wanting the "perfect" clothes, hair, set-up, ect..looking or acceptance from others rather than wanting to please myself. I had really lost sight of why I started taking pictures in the first place...which was for my kids. So tonight, as Piper was playing in the sink, I grabbed my camera and shot a few..nothing fancy, just her..no cute outfit..no "just-right" hair, no perfect background...just my girl.. just a memory..which is really..what it's all about!

she's a doll & you capture it every single time!

i can identify with what you're saying...i sometimes have to put effort into letting go of the control & just snapping candids. those are the ones i love looking back at most (even though have to put my 'mommy glasses' on to relax & just enjoy...rather than critque them)

These are gorgeous! You definitely don't need everyting to be "perfect" because your kids are just beautiful being themselves. I hope you get out of your funk soon.
