For those that have been following the blog circle posts in which I’ve been participating with some fellow photographers, this months theme was motherhood. To be honest, I’ve sat in my office contemplating whether to post or not. I didn’t capture what I had envisioned and my image is not perfect. However, that is exactly how I view motherhood. I started out motherhood with this vision in my head of what I should look like. I had it all clear, but then uncontrollable factors got in the way of my perfect vision. Motherhood is not what I had envisioned for myself. Yet, I have embraced and learned to appreciate my role as it has unfolded with a different vision than how I started.
Enough rambling on my part! Be sure to check out Gigi McGill’s post and follow this month’s blog circle.

This is beautiful Beira! Motherhood is full of surprises
This is so beautifully written! I can so relate… To this day I think the reason I got put on bedrest was because I am such a control freak, and fate decided I needed a big, gigantic reality check… Your image is lovely!!!!

So true! It’s not quite how I envisioned it either, but I embrace it wholeheartedly! Thanks for sharing!

I just love your analogy– so fitting and true, and the image is beautiful too, one that your daughter will treasure in years to come!
I definitely had to change my “plans” along the way, too. It’s so easy to say “this is how I’m going to do it” when you don’t have kids, huh? Actually doing it is a different story! Super cute shot, Beira!
