I was looking through my photos and I realized something; I don't have very many photos of myself. It's gotten much worse since Clara's birth. Not only is she so much more fun to photograph, but I'm also dealing with my own issues in accepting my post- pregnancy body. After you have a baby, it's easy to feel like your body is someone else's; it doesn't look, feel, or move like it used to.
It's not that I hate any picture of myself, I just hate most of them. I am going to make an effort to change this in the future. Maybe if I take enough pictures (not in a narcissistic way), I can overcome this aversion to seeing me in a photo, because an important part of documenting my daughter's life is documenting my role in it.
You are truly beautiful, and a wonderful mommy! Love you sweetie.
ReplyDeleteKelly, you're gorgeous! Take all the pictures you can! You won't regret having them, but you would regret it if you didn't.
