Another View

For Christmas Michelle got a camera from my mom.

She absolutely loves it and is taking after me and documenting life from her view!

Before she would take pics and video on an old phone we had.

I really want her to have the love of documenting life as I do.  I LOVE my pictures and taking them.  I can freeze any moment and forever look back on.

Michelle is at an age where she doesn't really want me following her around taking her picture.  I get lots of "really mom" or "this is so embarrassing".  

As a mom who wants to capture every moment this age makes that difficult.

BUT.....

Now that she has her own camera and takes it with her most places I can get pictures with out being annoying or there. 

 I was looking at the pictures on her camera the other day and she has pics of special moments that I  would have loved to document but wasn't there. Luckily she had hers with her so she got some pictures of holding Cohen and making applesauce with Gramma!

As she becomes a teenager I want her to continue carrying it around with her so I can get a glimpse into her world.

I would love it for it to be a "thing" for us to share for years to come.  

I want to sit around like I do with my mom and sister now and put our pictures in albums.  Share our favorite pictures with one another or ones that make us laugh. 

Talk about that day, time or moment.

I am currently doing project life for keeping our family photos and memories.  I would love to get her started on that now (when pages come back in stock) so it can be something we do together!
