The Mom Challenge

During October and November, I took a mom photo challenge for 30 days. The point was to take more pictures of YOURSELF with your kids, rather than always being behind the camera. It was very hard to get a picture of me with the kids every day, and there were a few nights where I barely made it and took an instagram next to them sleeping in their beds.  I used the remote a lot, actually handed the camera to Derek sometimes, and let the kids have turns taking pictures (which they loved). I had a number of friends do it, which made it fun and encouraging, and the other motivation was earning a free photo shoot with the photographer who started this whole idea. I did manage to complete it and I am thankful for some of the pictures that never would have gotten taken if I hadn’t done it. These are some of my favorites.
