OK, so I'm cheating. I didn't actually take this picture. (Well, how could I? I'm in it). But it's one of my favourite black and white photographs - me with Littleboy 2, aged four months. It hangs on my bedroom wall, alongside a very similar one of myself with Littleboy 1 in a very similar pose at a similar age. Both were taken by a professional photography studio in London. The boys love these photographs; they are always pointing up at them and asking, in a kind of wonderment, was that me, Mummy? As for me, I only have to glance at those photographs to remember how tiny and helpless the boys once were - even when they are running around the house barking like dogs or chucking plastic dinosaurs at each other. And that's what Motherhood is all about, isn't it. They will always be our babies, no matter what.
Now, go to Tara's Gallery to see more creations in black and white.....

Gorgeous picture - what a great idea to have it done. Not surprised you love it! x
great pic - I wish I'd had professional pics taken of my boys when they were babies. Was too sleep deprived and broke to think about it
That's absolutely gorgeous!
Now I have goosebumps. Broody? Moi? ...

What a great photo! Chris keeps telling me that we should get one done with LLC. You have inspired me.
