Do you hide behind the camera?

After talking with singer and song writer Lori McKenna last week about how she wished she knew some of her mom's mannerisms (her own mother died when she was only six years old), it made me think about how many moms I know that rarely get a picture taken of themselves. 

Sure, they are always at the event.  But they are usually the ones behind the camera or video camera taping the event.  And so no pictures of mom are taken.

Do you find that you are in only a few pictures on your scrapbook pages?  If this describes you, ask someone to take a picture of you at an event.  Or give the video camera to someone else at the birthday party, so that you can be on the screen too. Your children will want pictures of their mom throughout their life and not only pictures of themselves.  And there is no going back in time to take missed pictures......

Lori McKenna was the one to remind me to snap pictures of the moms that I know....if only for their children's sake.

Oh, this is way too true! Thanks for the reminder. Now i just need to teach my kids how to take photos of my FACE and not my back, my butt, the top of my head, etc. Well, either them, or my husband! :)
