Daddy and the Kids

You know how much I love mommy-and-me photos (well...because I'm a mom...), but daddy-and-me photos are equally important!! Obviously!!

How cute is this dad getting hugs from his girls?! Happiness-overload!

I can cry right now looking at this photo, thinking about him looking at this a night before one of his girls leaves for college or gets married... Yes, I imagine a lot of things lol. I'm a dreamer.

I told this dad to hold his girls. After my surgery, I can't lift my kids anymore. I still try to hold them sitting down on my lap, but it's not the same. I can't do that anymore, and I miss it so much. When my kids were little, Holding babies all the time made my bach hurt so bad that I had to see a back specialist. I couldn't wait to be done with the baby-ara, so I don't have to carry them all the time... I'm such a hypocrite. Now I know I can't do it, I want to do it. lol. That's why I ask my clients to do it while they still can. Having their whole weight on your arm is such a special feeling as a parent. Like you can feel their whole life is in your arms.

Moms! You can take this kind of photo with your phones during this holiday season! I know you have many photos of your spouses and kids, but tell your kids to give a big hug for dad or hold the kids even they're getting a little bigger! It doesn't have to be perfect at all! Squishier is better. Dads! You can do that with moms, too! The hugging photos are always my favorite. I'm sure you'll love it!
