WATCH OUT ! ! ! Here comes the "mamarazzi"

My kids have had to put up with a mom who has got her camera in hand 70% of the time, always ready for the perfect picture, not wanting to miss...a memory.

To the movie stars I'd be known as the "paparazzi", but to my kids I'm called, "mamarazzi". Yes, I have been given that nickname by my children.

I dont think it's all that bad, they have been such good sports posing for me...holding the pose just a little longer, and going back to a pose because most recently my camera isnt ready for the shot cuz, I'm still learning how to use it.

When they seem a little perturbed by my brutal flash in the face, I remind them that they are giving me joy each time they let me have my way.

Some of my favorite shots are the ones when they don't even know I'm taking the picture. During these times I go into "stealth mode" and capture my darlings without them even knowing. No posing, no opposition, just simply natural and unaware.

Thanks kids for letting your mama capture those

"tug at my heart" kind of pictures!
