Mum's being in your family photos matters | Deb Elton Photography

Mum’s when was the last time you weren’t the one behind your camera or phone taking photos of your kids, family, pets? These are all great memories to capture, but what about you? Where is the memory of you with your kids, family, mother, father, dog ,cat etc…You get my gist?

What’s stopping you from being present in photo’s? I hear these common reasons all the time….I need to lose weight, my hair needs doing, I don’t like my smile, I have grey hairs and wrinkles.

I will let you in a secret….your kids don’t care about any of that. What they do care about is you! And having photo’s together with mum in them are very special. Especially as your kids grow up and have a photo together from when they were young to remember you and all those times of fun and cuddles. One day they might be parents and imagine them be able to share photo’s of you with them to their children. I know I just love and treasure photo’s of me with my parents. You cannot put a price on that!

Here’s one of me with my children, would you believe my eldest daughter is now married! This photo means so much more to me now than when it was taken as it’s the last one together before she became a married woman, my baby is all grown up, moved out of our home and married. I will never get the time back but I will always have this memory.

So next time you pull out your camera or phone, remember to get in the picture. Have someone else take the photo for you, or even better book in a family photo session and make it a celebration of you and your family together, because you matter. We have only today, tomorrow may never come.
