One moment you’re crying over a bit of wee on a stick, then you are in such awe of your body growing an actual whole baby, and then birthing them. Next you loose all sense of who you were before, don’t recognise yourself in the mirror and find an inner strength you didn’t know you had. And then you’re back to crying because 4 years went too fast and they’re starting school.

You know time is moving. You already know you won’t regret the photographs. So what is holding you back? I have some thoughts…..

Number 1: My children are wild and feral and might not do anything they are asked to.

Number 2: There are a million different things to spend money on right now.

Number 3: There are too many photographers and I can’t decide because I am constantly overwhelmed by motherhood that decision fatigue has set in so I literally do nothing.

Any of these sound familiar? Let me solve these issues for you…

Number 1: My children are wild and feral and often don’t do anything I ask them to. This is ok, and normal! I always allow time and space for them to be them. Some of my favourite photos come in the chaos or the unplanned moments. We just roll with it!

Number 2: There will always be a million things to spend money on. Most of those things will not be that different tomorrow or the day after. Your children will be a little bit older tomorrow and a little bit bigger next week. There is no going back. Today is the day!

Number 3: You don’t need to decide. You have read this far. You can see I get it. I’m in the trenches with you. I’m your wing-girl, Team Mom all the way!
