If you’re a mom, take a moment to scroll through your phone’s camera roll. You’ll likely find a treasure trove of beautiful pictures featuring your children – and often their dad – but what’s conspicuously absent? Photos of you with them. It’s a universal struggle, and even pop star Kelly Rose knows this feeling all too well.
In a recent Instagram post, Kelly shared a sweet moment of her husband, Mike, cuddling their little one, Oliver. In a candid caption, she humorously pointed out that she needs to make more appearances in their family snapshots. “At least one kid is enjoying himself while the other one is chasing germs. And don’t worry, the fun-police is ensuring everyone’s buckled up while I document this chaos. Cheers to 2023!” she quipped.
But then she threw a little shade at Mike, saying, “I really hope one of @mikecoolguy’s resolutions is to take more pictures of me. You know, just so people can remember I exist. Carry on.” Can we get an amen? If Kelly is anything like the rest of us (and we know she is), she’ll probably follow up by asking him to delete any photos where she feels she doesn’t look her best. Just last summer, after I lamented the lack of recent photos with my kiddos, my partner took some. “My hair looks like a bird’s nest, delete that one,” I helpfully suggested after glancing at his efforts.
Sorry, folks. Capturing us in pictures isn’t always a walk in the park. But trust me, the effort is worth it. A quick peek at Mike’s Instagram shows a plethora of adorable shots of their daughter, Lily, and baby Oliver, with only a few including Kelly. She’s definitely onto something by wanting to prioritize her presence in the family album.
One day, those will be the cherished memories that your kids will hold dear. Even if your instinct is to shy away from the camera or hit delete, just do it. Be in the damn picture! You’ll thank yourself later.
We hope Mike is paying attention to Kelly’s subtle hints and makes 2023 the year she shines bright on his Instagram feed.
