(On the way back from a gorgeous day from the park with a little pit stop for a snack. These boys have to get waters in a cup just like Mom and Dad!)
I need to get around to writing some updates on the boys since Conley is approaching 2 1/2, and Nolan will soon by 4 1/2 in April. SAY WHAT? Seriously I still can't fathom that I've been mom for four years.
I can't believe I've also had a blog for almost 4 YEARS!!! In March, I'll be celebrating that anniversary. As I don't post over here as much as I like, I'm still thankful to have this as an outlet and a journal for keeping up with the boys. If it wasn't for this blog, I would never had KMB!
Speaking of KMB, we had a Photography Mom's Night Out and the photographer was sharing with us to embrace our phone as our camera. It's with you and quick to use. My biggest takeaway was her saying take photos of everyday life---photos that evoke emotion in you. Not your ones where everyone staring at the camera but those small tidbits in life that you want to remember. Little baby toes and whisps of curly toddler hair. Those are the moments you want to capture and hold close to your heart. Jenny our KMB contributor wrote a great piece about it after that night. Be sure to check it out!
Just trying to catch the little things...because sometimes those are what mean the most!

That's great advice, about capturing the small moments. That's what I try to do daily too.
ReplyDelete4 years in March - me too!
Great advice. I don't always have my Canon with me... so the best camera is always the one you've actually got - and if it's your phone; go for it!! Don't let the moment go by because it's not a fancy camera. There are some really great apps to that can improve your photos greatly.
ReplyDeleteand yes!! capture more fantastic and beautiful moments like this!! I have so many of these -- half of them never end up on my blog; they're just for our family to look back on and enjoy the memories.
Yes, so often the non-posed pictures just the ones that capture life end up being the ones I cherish the most.
