An Octamom Sighting...
I rarely appear in the pages of my family photo albums....'cuz I'm usually the one behind the camera. But I really am working on raising up the next generation of photographers. My oldest is getting pretty handy with a camera, to the point that she caught on film (okay, memory card) a rare Octamom sighting that does not involve me several centimeters into labor or disheveled and exhausted on Christmas Morn.
You cannot imagine the self-discipline it took for me not to edit my backside...not out of vanity or concern for my posterity...I would have only done it for you, Dear Readers, to give you a more accurate concept of how I think I look in rear view....but I am still gonna look for a photoshop application that clones Evangeline Lily's backside...

I think that is an award winning photo. I just gasped when I saw it. It's gorgeous, and the bare baby tushy adds such a (dare I say) natural touch. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's precious.
I'm with Angie........it's absolutely gorgeous. It's so lovely. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteThat baby tush absolutely draws all attention away from yours (lol)! I am with the two Angie's above - this is an award winning photo, a treasure. Your daughter is already a great talent.
ReplyDeletei love love love this pic....for so many reasons. first, you are just you in the pic...way to go not editing. second, the kids are so happy and delighted. third...the beach. my fav.
ReplyDeleteI like it! I love the baby bottom! And even yours! Haha! It is hard not to edit pics when your the subject. Your daughter did a great job capturing the serenity of the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful picture!!!! Your little one should become a photographer. Maybe you'll be in more now that you have a little photo assistant.
ReplyDeleteThat pictures is fabulous! Love the little naked baby having fun at the beach.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great if we could find that editing tool to show ourselves the way we think we appear. But, honestly you should not be self conscious about your rear view!
What a beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteYes - no need to edit the rear view - although I woudl take some for sure!
That is absolutely beautiful. Blow it up, frame it, and put it up on the wall. WOW! Hats off to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo! Even better is that your babies will have an everlasting memory of being at the shore WITH you!! 10 out of 10 to number 1 of 8! Awesome shot! I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture! There is so much interest to the picture with the naked baby, an attractive Mom and the other baby looking over your shoulder. It's exciting that 1 of 8 is taking an interest in photography. I must say that I envy your trip to the coast, although I understand you were there because you own 2 houses (we do too, at the moment). Not a fun place to be. I sure do enjoy reading your blog. Have a great week! jan
ReplyDeleteLovely - really beautiful and a chld took this? Amazing! I barely noticied the bare bum!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture!!! Wow! Tell your little one that she took an amazing picture--keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome photo. Beautiful in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteSuch a GREAT photo! And your backside is good the way it is. I also love the naked baby tushy!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteFrameworthy, classic.
What a beautiful shot! I have one taken by a professional photographer that shows a mom and baby from behind. It was taken in a foreign country (which country escapes me at the moment). Although your photograph isn't from a third-world country, it reminds me of his work. Tell 1 of 8 a career in photography awaits!

Beautiful photo...don't change a thing!
ReplyDeleteI know this sounds cheesy, but I kinda gotta little teary eyed when I saw your picture. What a beautiful picture! I love every little bit of it. Especially the little naked baby bottom! I'm really glad you didn't change anything. It is perfect just the way it is!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a perfect picture! I think the little one will not find it nearly as cute when grown though!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely fabulous photo!! You all look wonderful! Sweetpea would love to be following along with her little bum hanging out too ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely photograph. Your girl has talent, this is for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing to catch my eye was your gorgeous silhouette, long hair and neat straw hat. When I noticed the babies, with the naked baby tush, I though "This picture is so perfect!" What a wonderful memory this will be for your daughter and the babies. :)
It seems that I am always behind the camera also, so there are very few pictures of TellingMom anywhere. This has been fine with me, because I never liked pictures of me {well, except the wedding photo ~ but that was so much work to look like that!}. As the kids get older, I realize that maybe I should try to be in more photographs, because memories are precious, and to have them in print can help them reminisce about those years.
This picture is great. This one goes in the scrapbooks!
ReplyDelete4 of 8 described this well but I still had to laugh at the cute baby cheeks/buns! Be sure to tell the budding photographer that it is a beautiful picture. One that the twins will cherish!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful photograph. Which family member took it? Your rear end looks great... exactly like you think it does. :)
ReplyDeletebwahahahahhahaha!
ReplyDeleteI ain't lookin' at YOUR hiney, Mama! That little white tooshie is TOO CUTE!
What a FANTASTIC PHOTO!
Good Job, 1 of 8!
I think you look fabulous. .. and that photo is really sweet with your twins. I love it and I wish I had a similar one. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHoly Wow. That is a great photo. And a teenager shot it!? I AM impressed. I'm with you let's clone the toddler butt and stamp it all over our blogs!
ReplyDeleteI personally LOVE this photo... a family, mommy moment... simple and so beautiful. love the scenery, and the fact that your teen made a memory both by seeing it firsthand and secondly by capturing it to be viewed over and over. a Special moment, i would think, that will be remembered for a long time. I have a photo of my first trying to coach my second on how to go to the bathroom standing up... outside with the mountains and country town in the background, well it made for an amazing picture and forever stamped the memory of it in my mind. they both had their behinds mostly exposed, but honestly, that is what made the picture so memorable, funny, and worth capturing on camera. Kids caught in the simple act of being kids, is refreshing, sweet, and adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is a classic.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best picture! I simply adore it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an absolute gorgeous picture!!! As far as your back side you look awesome!!! Tell 1 that they did an excellent photo job!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so seriously, have you printed this in a 20x24 and framed it and hung it somewhere noticeable? I think that was Jyl's suggestion above.
ReplyDeleteThis picture fabulous.
I have no more words.
this is a beautiful picture
ReplyDeleteFunny. You know, I have tons of pictures of our trip to visit family in Puerto Rico and only 3 or 4 include me. I keep wanting to make a PR scrapblog, but am trying to figure out the whole Evangeline Lily backside thing too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, loving your new fall background.
Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I came over to yours and I absolutely love it! Wow- mother to 8! That is FABULOUS. I so admire women like you and I think it's wonderful that you have 8 children. What a blessing. Your site is great- I think, after one visit, I might be hooked... hope you don't mind! Angela
ReplyDelete"A rare Octamom sighting that does not involve me several centimeters into labor or disheveled and exhausted on Christmas Morn" - you have me crackin' up! My parents and the in-laws are always begging for photos of me and The Pea, but I too am always the one behind the camera.
ReplyDeleteP.S I LOVE your fall wallpaper/border!
Your kid's got talent! What a beautiful photo!
