I don’t DO pictures of me…
Posted on May 27, 2010
I hear this a lot. To be honest, it breaks my heart. I feel like I NEED more pictures of me, there are hardly enough out there! Not because I’m hott and everyone needs to see. (That’s a given. 
) But because I want my kids to remember what I look like when I’m gone. I want them to pick up a picture of me and have fond memories. For me, capturing time in my lens is my job. I physically ache if I don’t have my camera to document something poignant in my life. I want more pictures of my kids, my husband, of my surroundings, and yes, even myself. Because it documents this little blip in time that is MY life. And I want my kids to be able to pass that on to their kids, and their kids, and so on.
So when I read this amazing post by Deb Schwedhelm, I wanted to scream “YES!” at my computer. Please, if you do anything today, read that post. It might just change how you view yourself in pictures.

I totally understand the feeling. I have so many photos of Mia, Brian, and my family and not enough of me. I’m always asking Brian to take pictures of me especially with Mia. My family loves when I take pictures and so at times I’m left out of the camera. I love taking pictures but I need to get more of me in them.
