Get in the Photo!! Please?!

I couldn't be more guilty of this than anyone. I don't have any excuse other than I hate my photo being taken.

I bet your bottom dollar that if you take a quick peek back at your photos from the past year and most likely, there are heaps of photos of your kids on various adventures, probably a good number of them costarring your partner, and less than a handful of you with them. (ugh selfie!!)

And, if, like me, you are the family photographer, it's time to relinquish that title with a new hashtag #getinthephoto.

It’s time to let go of trying to capture the perfect picture, and instead capture the perfect moment. Join the movement and get in the photo.

So, come on and join me and actually not giving a hoot if the photo will be as perfectly styled as it would be if you were behind the lens. Will your kids care? Most likely not. Will you be happy to have captured your reaction to the moment? Most certainly yes. Because 30 years from now, when you're spending the holidays looking over old photos with your kids, you won't remember that you were in desperate need of a haircut. You'll remember the laughs, the sillies, the genuine happiness you felt to be in the moment with your kids. I promise.
