it's always easier when we're out and about sometimes. i don't know what got into me today, but i wanted to take a quick 10 minutes photo session of my boys for fun. i always keep it to 10 minutes because they get fired up and start doing their own thing. the pictures you see are from my iphone. i did capture a few on my SLR that i will post sometime this week.
it's easy to take pictures of my boys. i let them create the experience for me to capture. you will never see me pose them because i don't ever like to. i give them their space, stand near by, and let them do whatever they want with each other. it's almost as if i've removed myself from the situation to allow them to play together and relate to each other in their way.
yeah, they see me taking pictures and would ask "oh mom, you're taking pictures of me". (duh) yes, honey.
the good thing about pictures is that it will help them understand and recall what they did together. sometimes, we would lay in bed and i'll whip out my phone to show them pictures or sometimes, they'll just use my phone and browse through the pictures themselves. they'll talk to each other about it or run like a cheetah to ask me if i remember that on this day they did "XXXX". they ALWAYS ask if i remember because they have no clue that mama can retain all the memories they've shared with me.
pictures are my way of sharing memories with my boys. it's a story of our time together and hopefully, would make them appreciate each other even through times when they argue or get mad at each other. it's not the end of the world. we're a family and a team. i want to give them a sense of security, but want to ensure that they build a bond with each other like how i'm building it with them.
love my boys. xoxo.
