Default Me And The Boy LOVE!

Fired off a few shots of me with my son - altered to B+W (My favorite form) - I realised that being the photographer of the family all of my shots are of my son or my husband and son - there is very little evidence that I exist so to prove to him one day that I was around I was on a mission - Me and the boy LOVE!

That's a beautiful picture. You should make your hubby pick up the camera sometime, too, to capture some memories himself!

Aww the facial expressions are priceless! It's a beautiful photo. One you'll look back at when he's older and smile
Haha having a photographer mom could be tough for a kid. I'm sure you'll get many funny photos that you can embarass him with when he's a teenager
