Mom, You Need To Be Here | Kansas City Motherhood Photo + Film Session
Mom, you need to be here.
By “here”, I mean literally right here, living in the moment.
It’s easy to get distracted. You feel drowned in tasks. You long for a break.
You love this life. It’s hectic and sticky and loud, but you love it.
I want you to have the chance to stop and savor the life dancing right before your eyes.
It is a dance you know and the funny thing about dances is that we get caught up in the moment thinking it’ll never end until suddenly the lights stop flashing, the music drops & suddenly it’s over.
So how can we jump in & dance our hearts out in the moment that’s here…right here?
I want you to spend time looking into the eyes of those babies dancing in front of you.
Two eyes looking deep into theirs, little babies, big kids….ALL the babies, truly take time to see them.
Breathe in and out. Don’t forget the breathing part.
I want you to listen with both ears. Forget the phone dinging with messages in the background.
Both ears mama. I want you to hear the story they’re telling you because if they’ve trusted you with it, it’s valuable.
It’s valuable today and it builds trust to tell you the big things tomorrow.
I want you to hug with both hands. Full, lengthy hugs my friend. Your babies need them and you do too.
Play the games with two hands, give double high-fives & big exuberant claps.
Two eyes. Two ears, Two hands. And breath. Remember, don’t forget the breath.
Living this meaningful life is probably simpler than you think.
It’s a gift of time. A gift of slowing. A gift of attention. A gift of connection.
You’re here Mama.
You’re dancing to the music in front of your eyes.
I tell you this friend not because you don’t know, but to tenderly remind my own self, a mama just like you, of the magic of true intention.
If you crave this life too, let’s make the beautiful proof that you are HERE, loving deeply with your whole body.
I’d be honored to reflect your beautiful memories back to you in Video + Photos. Watch below of a mama embracing the dance in front of her eyes, then send me a message by clicking the button below.
Let’s make something beautifully honest!
