You can thank me later.
For the photos where you’re looking at the camera? Sure.
But for the ones where you’re completely wrapped up in them and forget I’m even there?
Those are usually the ones you’ll treasure most.
In all seriousness, can we normalise not having to look into the camera?
Not every photo needs eye contact.
Not every photo needs a smile.
Not every photo needs perfection.
Sometimes the most beautiful image is the one where you’re simply being their mum.
Holding their hand.
Kissing their cheek.
Watching them laugh.
Loving them without ever looking at the lens.
Because you are there.
You are seen.
You are loved.
And one day, they’ll be grateful there was proof.
