Be in the Picture Weekly Favourites - 4

Welcome back to the Be in the Picture weekly roundup. Once again there were lots of wonderful pictures shared on instagram and I struggled to pick just a few favourites. I could have featured so many. If you missed the last roundup you can catch up with it here, Be in the Picture 3.

For those of you that haven't heard of #beinthepicture, it is an instagram hashtag that myself and Alana from Baby Holiday created. It is designed to encourage you to get in-front of the camera as opposed to behind it. I used to always be the one taking the pictures and I was never in them myself. 

You can use the hashtag on any pictures that feature you whether that be fashion, parenting, travel, with your partner etc. You name it, we want to see it.

My favourite photo from last week came from cwing1. The words described how motherhood is like a fast train and how you just want it to slow down. She has managed to capture a beautiful moment in time here. Simply stunning. 

When motherhood is like a train that keeps on moving, no matter how much you want it to slow down to relish every smile, every kiss , every laughter, every silly thing they do, but you can't slow the train down, So you hang on as tight as you can. This picture is a moment in time that last forever. A moment that you can slow down. A time when a simple hug from you can solve all their problems . A time to be cherish . #naturephotography#Benicia#bayarea#napa#napavalley#vacaville##flashesofdelight #darlingmoment #pursuepretty #darlingmovement #thehappynow #livecolorfully #abmlifeiscolorful#bayarea#Benicia#napa#fairfield#naturallight#naturephotography#fallfoliage#fallincalifornia#familyfirst#familyphotography#clickinmoms#fairfieldcaphotographer#clickinmoms#preciousmomentsphotography#californiafallcolors#walnutcreek#sonomacountyphotographer#fairfieldcalifornia#mommyandmephotoshoot#beinthemoment#beinthepicture

The next pictures comes from the beautiful Lamb and Bear. I just love the way she is looking at her son with such a natural smile. It's perfect.

For almost 10 years I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and for longer than that I’ve struggled with weight gain, exhaustion and low energy levels. A couple of weeks ago I took the @soshapeparis 5 day challenge and tonight I’ve written all about the results on my blog. Let’s just say, there was less yawning!👌🏻#ad #soshapechallenge • • • • • #soshape #lifestyleblogger #amomentinmotherhood #reallifeparenting #mumsthatslay #motherhoodalive #modernmum #lionessmama #mamarazzi_square #ohmamamoment #joyfulmamas #eternalmotherhood #motherhoodandme #ohheymama #literalmomgoals #honestlymothering #tribedemama #beinthepicture

Our Fairytale Adventure  is giving me serious wanderlust. They are currently a full time travelling family, touring around Asia. I am loving their insta stories and you tube videos. They celebrated their 5th year wedding anniversary in Thailand and it just all looks so dreamy. 

Oh Thailand 🇹🇭, you absolute dream 😍. • Today is mine and Mr. C's 5 year anniversary 🥂... we've had a lot of difficult times over the years, but somehow we've made it through✨. Now we are travelling the world 🌍, one country at a time with our little tribe in tow 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦. Life is one big adventure and I couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else ❤️.

Fiona at Dolly Dowsie  has one of the prettiest instagram accounts i've seen. This picture was taken on Mother's Day and it shows her lovely relationship with her children. It's gorgeous. It's also making me very excited for some warmer weather.

I had such a lovely Mother’s Day 💜 These guys were delighted to be reunited with me and I them. A break is always so lovely (and lord knows I need one now and again!), but I love all the cuddles and being able to be there to put them to bed 😊 Happy Mother’s Day to all the lovely mummies, no matter where they may be 💜 . . . #beinthemoment #beinthepicture #dresslikeamum #lavenderfields #lavender #acupofmotherhood #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodthroughig #ipbig #ourwhimsicaldays #adventurelikebeatrixpotter #asecondofwhimsey #motherandsons #mybabiesforever #dreamingofsummer

My own favourite picture that I shared on my account Kerry Louise Norris was this capture from the Great Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The lighting was amazing and the whole experience was breathtaking. 

Why do we travel with kids? For moments like this. Beautiful and breathtaking #coi_mamamonday #rememberingthesedays #beinthepicture #showyouwerethere #sheikhzayedmosque #inabudhabi #travelwithkerrylouisenorris #fearlessfamtrav #lpkids #holidayswithkids #freespiritedkids #watchthemlearn #developinglife #mycolourfulkids #followyoursunshine #postcardsfromtheworld #wearetravelmums #travelmadfam #marbltravel #mummyshot #myhappycapture #littlefierceones #travelwithkids #coi_light
