Raleigh Family Outdoor Photography – The Joy of Being a Mommy

I just love images that show joy – those sweet, full of love, happy images. As a mother, we are usually never in the photos right? I know when my husband is doing something cute with the kids, I run to get the camera…and you know, I’m always behind the camera. I got to watch Owen get photographed at team picture day for flag football and it is funny to see my photographers child freeze up when they pull out a camera. (Oh no…Run!!!!!!!) I think the photographer was stressed but I reassured her that any picture of him standing in front of the football field background in his flag football uniform is going to be cute to me.

Ok, so back to motherhood. It is so sweet to have those photos – being photographed with our babies and the joy and love we have for them. I know Harrison’s first year is just flying by and I’m trying to be intentional about being photographed with him. A friend of mine recently commented on how, yes, she posts a lot of selfies of her with her kids – but they are seeing her happy with them, and wow, isn’t that so important. It was such a joy to photograph these two sweet mommas with their little ones – they were the winners of the “Win a Mommy & Me Mini Session for You & A Friend Contest.” If you don’t follow me on instagram (you can here)…when I run little contests, I usually announce them there first. The weather was a little iffy..I think they were calling for rain so I wasn’t sure if these were going to happen that morning, but so glad they did and the rain stayed away!
