We had some crazy snow fall yesturday (crazy for us, like 25cm). Road conditions were poor, blowing snow everywhere, it felt like it wouldn’t stop. I used my time inside wisely and decided to do some practice. It’s hard to practice with a 4-yr old who always wants to help and a 18-month old who just wants to be the center of attention…all the time. 🙂 So I tried my hand at some self portraits.

I’ve seen a few blog posts this week from others talking about getting in front of the camera for a change or taking pictures of things we take for granted that might soon be gone. If you know me well, you know I HAAAATE being on the other side of the lens. I am more than content hiding being behind the camera and creating a photo than being the subject. But I love taking pics of my kids when they let me(who doesn’t!) They make me laugh, they make each other laugh and I have story upon story and iphone video after iphone video of their craziness.

So I took those blogs posts I read to heart and took some shots with them. And after looking at them I’m glad I did. Maybe it’ll be something I try to maintain for their sake. I could stare at their faces all day. I hope they like these someday and I hope it reminds them to do the same for their kids in the future.
