Hi! I am Alison. A mama just like you. Trying to make it to bed time everyday with two little lumps of love clinging to my legs alllll dayyyyy long.
My days are an ever teetering scale of tears & tantrums balanced by snuggles & eskimo kisses. Wouldn’t trade it in a million years.
But, Ill be honest. it became easy for me to lose sight of the beauty of childhood. The amazing little details that make up my unique babies. Their tiny little noses. That only they have. Their cowlicked hair. That no other child has the exact same one. The three little freckles that sit on the bridge of her nose. Those little treasures that belong to my child, that belong to me & only me.
you are never going sit in your rocking chair and reminisce on those staged family photos.
It literally captured every little bit of my babies being. Their excitement. Their silliness. Their wonder. Their sweetness.
But you know what . . . it also captured their stink. Their pouts. Their furrowed brows. Their crocodile tears. The happy. The sad. The mad. The confused.
Because that carousel of emotions, all day every day, is my reality in this moment. And i never want to forget it. And neither should you.
So i sat down one day & started snapping. Looking literally through the lens of my camera. To stop the speeding hands of time. And capture everything about my baby.
Then & there i birthed my third baby, praise be no epidural needed for this one, born to me was the personality portrait collection.
It was beyond magical.
