Getting In The Frame - Warrnambool Family Photographer

In my experience, it’s usually us mums that take most of the photos of our kids and family at home or out and about. It’s also the number one reason why most of us are actually rarely in them.

As photographers we talk about it all the time and my number one goal is to turn this around.

Getting in the frame is a really valuable practice and it’s also a lot of fun! It allows us participate in the moment and be a part of the memory making not just the one who’s always behind the lens. Getting in the frame also allows you to see yourself through the eyes of your kids and to embrace your own beauty and worth.

There are a million other reasons why it’s important to get in the frame and I think we all know what they are. But it doesn’t hurt to remember that it’s about honouring the journey that is motherhood and celebrating our love.

Motherhood is undoubtedly the most soul-shaking, joy-making and sometimes heart-breaking time of our lives. It is also so very fleeting and as time passes, your photos will become the most treasured record for you and your children.

The photos I have of me with my three boys are some of my most prized possessions and I want to see you in more pictures with your kids too.

If you are guilty of only having pictures of your kids with your partner on your camera roll then please come and book a session with me! I have a very special offer running until Mother’s Day so what better time than now to finally GET IN THE FRAME!

Lastly, just remember that getting in the frame doesn't mean having to be perfect. It's about embracing who you are and being present. By doing so you are enriching your own life as well as all the little pieces of your heart (aka your kiddos!).
