A lot of the time I find that the weeks rush by and all of a sudden it’s the end of the month and I realise that we haven’t taken a family photo for the me and mine project yet.
Sometimes though things fall in to place and the opportunity to take these photos comes up nice and early in the month.
May was one of the rare months when the latter happened.
We went out for a walk in Mumbles the other week and while we were up on a clifftop we managed to get photos for Living Arrows, the sibling project and the me and mine project. I’ve never felt so organised!
For a long time I felt really self-conscious taking my dslr out and about with me. And I felt even more self-conscious getting it out and posing for family photos in public places.
I’m so glad I pushed myself to do it though, because it feels much less of a big deal these days. Using the remote instead of the timer function on the camera makes it easier too, because the whole process of taking these family photos is much quicker now.
We’re planning on visiting quite a few different beaches around Gower this summer, and I quite like the idea of taking a photo of the four of us at each one.
Maybe if I make a point of doing that then I’ll have another month of two over the summer where I have a me and mine photo ready with time to spare!
