Do you make new year resolutions? I do sometimes, mostly for my work life & not for me personally. But for 2021, I’m encouraging you to join me on this personal goal-
Get in those photos with the people you love & who love you.

We all share images of our kids right, maybe even our kids with our parents, their friends, neighbors, sports teams, but where are you, the parents? After thinking about all the excuses we make (“when I have more time, when I’ve worked out more, when I get a hair cut, after I get a new outfit, when I am not so tired”) I’ve decided to make a list to encourage you- YOU CAN DO THIS!

Here are a few ways you can start working on getting in your photos

1. Hire a professional photographer- call today & schedule it, scheduled things get done
2. Let your kids have your camera for a day & tell them they can take photos of anything, I promise you’ll be part of their art
3. Have a friend come for a play date & take photos of each other with your children
4. Have your spouse do it & then photograph him or her as well
5. Ask a stranger at the park (safely of course) people love to help you out
6. Ask your cousin to help, the one who also has kids, who also needs to be in photos & trade
7. Use a self timer it’s not that scary, it can actually be a lot of fun

I hope you join me on this fun adventure to be in more of your photos in 2021. As one mom reminded me recently, It’s just so important.

Here was my first 2021 attempt with a self timer- We used a tripod & I ran back & forth, one time carrying the house cat. (she didn’t get the concept)
