Stay at home mom & Photographer

Hey Friends! 

How many of you are stay at home moms that feel like you have no escape to everyday life?? I know you can't see me, but I am over here raising my hand... because that is me. My name is Amber and I am the Creator and Photographer at Be Youtiful Photography.

Although I have been in photographing for many years, I just recently became a stay at home mom when I moved to Maryland in 2017 and let me tell you it is not easy. I have 2 girls, and holy emotions! There are some days that I just want to walk out the front door.. but I know they'd follow me. All jokes aside being able to stay home with my girls and watch them grow and change everyday is the most amazing feeling in the world. As much fun as it is being home all day everyday with mostly child interaction isn't always that much fun... Most people have small hobbies, or craft at home (whether they sell it or not) That's amazing! I just don't have the patients or sometimes even the creativity for it. Photography is my get away.. I get to play with children who aren't mine while making them laugh and enjoy the half hour or however long that their parents are forcing them to take pictures, HAHA (wish I could put a laughing face here). 

Along with making children happy, I want to also make mom feel Beautiful or maybe even make siblings not hate each other for a few minutes. Dads are a little harder to make happy, they are usually miserable the entire session but there are times where their personalities come out. I want to write about different experiences I've had, and ones that I want to encounter in the future... The good the bad and the ugly. Hopefully writing these gets easier over time, and I hope that you'll follow me on this crazy journey of Be Youtiful Photography and where ever it takes me. 

The craziness below, please note were only taken with my cell phone, is my crazy family and life at home. They come along with the good, the bad and the ugly.. join me next time to hear more about my craziness at home.
