I know I said in my last post that I would try to write more frequently… Well, I didn’t. I’ve been taking photos, I’ve been travelling and exploring new landscapes, but I haven’t been able to find the time to sit in front of my laptop and start writing…
The reason? I became a mum to a beautiful baby that doesn’t leave me too much free time. At least, not enough to sit down, edit photos, write a post, publish… As I said above, I’ve been quite busy! We travelled, we hiked with this little bundle of joy since he was very very young, we explored new places, we went on holidays and I even have some photographic projects I will tell you about when they’re ready. I took thousands of photos last year! But most of them are now family photos. And I love that fact! I always dreamt of knowing how to take photos to have a beautiful family album… Now I am making it, day by day… Not always with the camera (we all know that phone cameras are faster than a DLSR, hehehe, no matter how much you love the latter, the phone is always always with you). And I’m not very frequently in front of the lens, always on the other side. But I don’t mind. I love to capture small gestures and big baby milestones, daily moments and those very special occasions.
It’s been one year since this crazy adventure of mine begun. This post is a little tribute to this last year and a celebration of this tiny person that makes us so happy everyday. A year full of new challenges, adventures, some hard moments and loooots of beautiful ones. One year full of great memories, indeed. I will be back soon with more travel and landscapes, but for now, I hope you like these images from my private album! See you soon!
Congratulations! What an exciting time for you. Lucky bub having Mum to document it all so well in photos.
Thanks a mil!!!! Oh, it feels like ages since the last time I opened WordPress, hahaha I’ve surely missed too many things you and the other bloggers have published…
Oh, I remember when I got the first camera that I though about family photos… it took a few years, but I’m finally doing it! Hehehe and I’m glad I had the time to learn how to use it and how to edit the photos and everything. It’s more effort than just snapping with the phone, but looking back to the photos I took last year, they’re worth the effort!
How’s everything? I feel I should catch up with everything around here, hehehe
Definitely a plus that you got to know your DLSR b.c. (before children).
You asked how are things with me. My blogging has led me to a new career, or jobs at least, as a paid freelance writer!
I conduct interviews with interesting people and write articles for museums, schools and magazines! It is fun! I love it now I am formally retired, a little earlier thanks to the pandemic.
Motherhood is such a special time and it is true to say but it passes so quickly. Enjoy every moment, even the times when the baby is crying, although that is more difficult!!
Good to hear from you Mercedes, and know that you’re having a wonderful experience being a Mom. By the way, Happy first Mothers Day! Your photos are beautiful and creative, but can we see one of your son full face? Take care and I’m looking forward to more posts.
Dear Anne!!! How are you? Ah, it feels good to press the “publish” button again! Not sure if I’ll be able to so it often, but I’ll try, hahaha
I’m loving the experience. Good thing about being a not so young mum is that I was mentally prepared for the good and the bad things about motherhood… there are hard moments but I try to focus on the good ones and think that the hard ones are temporary, hehhee it’s been working so far, hehehe
One year later and I’m still having thoughts about posting publicly baby’s face… all about his right of privacy and so on… it’s probably the former lawyer in me, hehehe. Of course I have thousand of portraits of him and we share them just with family and very close friends. I’m just not too comfortable with the idea of sharing his face with the world, just yet (I know he’ll have an Instagram account, or tiktok or whatever app is trending when he has his own phone and/or camera in not so many years… and I’m afraid of the discussions we’ll have about it and privacy, public image and bullying and so so many dangers he’ll have to face about this things…)
I’ll try to catch up with your blog!!! I’m sure I’ve missed many many good photos, trips and adventures and a lot of improvement in your photography!
Happy mother’s day to you too, Anne!!! And take care you too 😘
