I always am posting pretty pictures of my little ones! My friend Karen from Ashtyn Jade Photography took these pictures and I was amazed at how beautiful she made me!
I always hate getting my picture taken! Feel funny about posing and this was so uncomfortable for me! I got the photo session as a white elephant exchange gift and Karen, Who started ASHTYN JADE PHOTOGRAPHY, insisted I get pictures of me instead of using it for Breeanas' baptism pictures! I hated standing there and the one I am turned away I am talking to her daughter trying to ignore the camera. When I went to her house to look at the pictures and see the slide show I just cried! I do not see myself as pretty but these pictures made me view myself as more than I normally see me. I always feel like the frumpy old mom in her mid 30's trying to avoid growing old! When maybe this is how my Heavenly Fathers view me! Seeing through all the little mistakes and imperfections (that Karen amazingly fixed) Seeing me as ME! Her saying on her website is THE SOUL MADE VISIBLE! I was blessed to have a friend show me how Beautiful I can be. This experience how ever wierd it felt doing has touched my life and made me view myself in a different way! THANK YOU KAREN
***Side note my boys all agreed they never knew I could smile! Maybe I should do it more often!
These photos remind me of how I used to have your senior photos in a little photo album and as a young teenager I would stare at them hoping that someday I could be as pretty as you were.
ReplyDeleteYou are even more beautiful now - I am glad you had this experience to see that your outward appearance matches your inward: both are beautiful.
This is why I am such a fan of getting nice, outdoor family photos every year... it helps me see that I am not as frumpy as I feel and I hope it will help my girls as they get older and more insecure see that they are still perfect in my sight and in beautiful in their Heavenly Father's sight.
Beautiful post - just like you :)
