As moms, it’s easy to stay behind the camera, capturing every smile, milestone, and silly moment of our children’s lives. But one day, those photos will be their memories — and you’ll want to be in them too! Being present in photos shows your kids that you were part of those cherished moments, not just the one documenting them. Years from now, they’ll look back and see how much you were there — your smile, your hugs, your love. It’s not about looking perfect; it’s about being present. Your kids won’t care about messy hair or no makeup — they’ll care about seeing you by their side. So step in front of the lens. These moments are fleeting, but the memories will last forever.
