This weeks Gallery is themed around the fact that last Friday was World Photography Day, and Tara asked us to go forth with our cameras and take a photo from last weekend which would be special and one to treasure for years to come.
I took quite a few photos last weekend of my boys, as I was able to use a proper camera rather than the one on my iPhone for a change. I could have found a still life object to photograph to make a stunning entry for this week, but taking photos of my children are amazing to me. They are what memories are made of – moments of their life captured on film (digitally of course!).
I decided to use this photograph as my Gallery entry this week, as it shows both my little treasures together 🙂
Bless him, Burton loves to kiss and cuddle Jenson to the point of almost smothering him with his mouth and his body! He was just going in for a kiss here and is talking to Jenson in his muffled mumbles first! It is sweet as Jenson’s hand is touching his big brother’s arm, and he looks quite content with the fact that he is about to be ‘Burton-ed’ once again!
It is photos like this that melt my heart and make me so proud and feel so lucky to have two healthy and beautiful children. It isn’t even the best photo I took of them but they are pictured together without wriggling! I just know that when they are older and they argue and fight; or when they are all grown up and have families of their own, I will look back at photos like this and remember how perfect my life was (is) with these two in it. To me, that is what photography is all about. (I am almost crying now – what a silly woman I am!)
For other wonderful photographs please take a look at the other Gallery entries
Thank you xx
Brothers love, that is definitely to treasure. lovely shot 😉 @Kahanka
Cute photo, but your words are so touching – they really make it.
I think it is a lovely picture, but then I am a snapaholic! Sometimes is isn’t about the art it is more about the memory and that is what this week was all about! x
Awww such a lovely picture – so sweet to see the love between them. Definitely one to treasure!
These sibs photos are always so touching. They will be embarrassed about them in years to come but it is fab!Â
Gorgeous- I love the fact that they are so intently looking at each other. Â A wonderful moment captured forever! x
I love pictures of kids interacting. I have heaps of mine with each new baby that came along and love looking back at them.
Ahh so cute, I can’t wait until Iyla has a little brother or sister to play with – well I can wait a bit longer! lol x
I love this photo – and the boys are both so gorgeous!
Beautiful, such adoration.
That’s so lovely 🙂 x
This could be my two, although Taylor is 9 months now so can hold his own more, Kieran just loves to hug and kiss “my baby brother”.
A beautiful capture of brotherly love
This is so perfect. Really adorable.
If I didn’t have my two boys I’d be so jealous.
The smothering kisses are sweet aren’t they but always leave me in such a panic and Charles doesnt know what he’s done wrong!
We both used ‘melts my heart’ in our Gallery posts today 🙂
Sibling moments are lovely, especially when they are being super cute and nice to each other. I’d like to tell you it stays like that as they get into toddlerhood…but it doesn’t lol. My 2 can fight like cat and dog sometimes.
What a beautiful photo, full of love and one to treasure always.
awww… wonderful 🙂
Love your words and thoughts on reflection of this photograph. It’s definitely one of those you’ll look back on, as will your children, as one of those ‘special moments’ in time 🙂
Lovely and so pleased to you already realise there will be sibling squabbles to come at which point you can flash this pic and say “I know you love each other really”
Aw how cute x
