BM (before maja) ivo HATED strongly disliked

 anytime i took my camera out to capture the moments.

he always felt that i wasn't enjoying the moments, 

and was more focused on the pictures.

i could totally see where he was coming from

and kind of agreed.

so, i stopped bringing my camera.

it was freeing. 

i was present.

consequently, we have almost no pictures for a couple of years.

since maja, i've thrown in the towel and feel that bringing my camera is incredibly important.

surprisingly, ivo agrees!

we've continued to leave the camera out, around the house, and i bring it in the diaper bag wherever we go.

we both try to be unobtrusive, while taking pictures,  quickly snap the moment, and put the camera away.

i'm so pleased with what we've captured.

here are a few recent gems...

standing!
