In the age of smartphones and social media, it’s easier than ever to document every precious moment of our lives. Yet, there’s one thing many mums tend to overlook – being in the photos themselves. My boys are in high school now and looking back at their childhood, photos I only have a handful of me in them, I’m not sure how I have let this happen!
I want to dive into the heartwarming reasons why I believe mothers need to be in photos with their children. Grab your tissues, because this one’s a tearjerker
1. Creating Timeless Memories:
As mothers, we’re often the ones behind the camera, snapping pictures of our little ones. But think about this – when your children grow up, what will they have to remember you by? Including yourself in these snapshots helps create timeless memories that they will cherish forever.
2. Documenting Your Journey:
Motherhood is a journey filled with ups and downs, and it’s a journey worth documenting. Being in photos with your children allows you to capture the beauty of this transformative experience. You’ll look back and see the strength, love, and growth you’ve experienced as a mother.
3. Boosting Self-Esteem:
It’s no secret that many mothers struggle with self-esteem and body image issues (me included!) However, seeing yourself in photos with your children can be a powerful reminder of the love and happiness you bring to their lives. It’s a confidence booster like no other.
4. Setting an Example:
By being in photos with your children, you’re setting a positive example. You’re teaching them the value of self-acceptance, confidence, and the importance of preserving precious memories. It’s a lesson that will stay with them throughout their lives.
5. Preserving the “Now”:
Children grow up so fast, and life can change in the blink of an eye. Capturing the “now” in photos allows you to freeze those fleeting moments and preserve them forever. When you look back at these pictures, you’ll remember the joy, the laughter, and the love you shared.
6. Leaving a Legacy:
Photos with your children are more than just images; they’re a legacy. They tell a story of a mother’s unwavering love, devotion, and the indelible mark she leaves on her children’s lives. Your photos will be treasured by generations to come.
Mums, don’t shy away from the camera. Embrace the opportunity to be in photos with your children. It’s not about looking perfect; it’s about capturing the beautiful moments of motherhood. These photos are a testament to the love you share and the legacy you’re building.
