Ok so I have just recently evolved as a momtographer lol , I started to see my kids through new eyes. While scrolling through facebook I discovered a photographer who completely opened my eyes to how I see my kids through my glass a.k.a my camera. For as long as I could remember it was so imperative for me to have their clothes ironed, hair done, teeth brushed lol ( always a fight lol ) and by the time we started shooting my kids and myself were over it!!!! seriously over it!!!! The session typically resulted in NO SMILES lol and a very frustrated mommy. Since discovering my kids through fresh eyes I have taken images of them dirty, half dressed, hair a hot mess, sick, sleeping, and completely themselves!!! That process at first had me feeling very vulnerable and exposed! Then I realized my expectations of a session with my kids was infiltrated by the way the world has conditioned me to see through its very foggy and distorted "glass" To many times we allow the "socially acceptable thing" to be our reality and mommas that's just not how GOD designed us!!! The more I begin to brake outta this "social box" the more I fall in love with my kid's imperfections and guess what??? MY OWN yep I am not perfect lol my mess is my own and its apart of my journey. My kids are perfectly imperfect and I plan on capturing every booger nose, dirty face, scuffed knee, and tantrum lol yall get it lol from now on when I look through the glass I want to see my life just the way it is perfectly imperfect.
