BE IN THE PHOTO

It’s easy to shy away from photographs because you’re so busy, so exhausted, not feeling your best.

It’s easy to be the taker and never let yourself be ‘in,’ when holidays make you feel exposed or ‘less than.’

But one day, your loved ones, will search for those memories, to bolster their own.

Those pictures, no matter how you look, are set to become absolutely precious.

And no one, not one of them, will care how ‘together’ you looked.

They will care, very much, that it is you.

And all of your you-ness, will be the exact gift they very much needed in that moment.

Be in the photo…

they are not for you.
