Last year, my friend Tara, did a photo project that I loved. She photographed her family (herself included) once a month and wrote about their month. I was so moved by this series that I decided to do something similar. I know that I am not alone when I say that it is much easier to be behind the camera instead of in front of it. I feel self-conscious and am a pain about having my picture taken. I will delete things if I feel like I look crappy. It is wrong and I know that it is. I know that my children don’t care if I am not wearing make up, they love me and think that I am beautiful regardless. They don’t care if I have put on a few pounds, as far as they are concerned that is just more of me to love. All they care about is that I am with them and spending time with them.
During the month, I will put my camera on the self-timer and be in the picture. I want them to remember us when we were all young and vibrant. I want them to see that we had fun adventures and that we laughed and played and loved each other. I will sit down and reflect on the month that we had and years from now, I will be able to look back and know that I was the mother than I wanted to be. I have the pictures to prove it.
