So, for our next installment of Mamarazzi Monday, we will be talking about one of my current favorite tips. Make a list of the images you want to capture. As I expect my second little boy in about 8 weeks, I am acutely aware of all the “big kid” things Noah is doing daily. I decided a couple of months ago to do a photo-project during the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy where I would take a photograph of Noah and I together each day. I am planning on making a leather-bound coffee table book (we offer those at Hayley Morgan Photography!) of our last 8 weeks as just he and I (and daddy, of course!). So, I have made a list of all the things I want to capture us doing. It is a wonderful way to make sure you aren’t missing the little moments that make up the “big picture”.
Some things on my list these next 2 months, include…
- Playing together in Noah’s TeePee
- Eating lunch together
- A late-night shot where I’m holding him and he’s sleeping (done!)
- Us waving goodbye to Mike on his way to work
- Cooking lunch
- Playing with “Choo-Choo”s
- Laying together in his new “big boy bed” :)
- Making silly faces
- Him interacting with my belly somehow (finger paints?? too messy??) :)
