Just a moment |
Almost 6 years of marriage and 16 years together, I love doing life with this guy but would you like to know the backstory behind this pic? We did a family photo-shoot with @ctkkit_photography last week and only when we were packing up and ready to leave, the sun started to set making an excellent photo opportunity. Since the kids were already buckled into their carseats, Kit asked my husband @bubzhubz and I to take some quick spontaneous ones right there in front of the car.
Kit asked us to just be natural and just look into each other but I can tell you that it did not feel natural for us. In the moment, we smirked sheepishly in front of each other because… it felt awkward. Why am I suddenly shy and self conscious? Oh that’s right, because he’s so up-close to my face. Is he going to notice my big pores?
He’s totally going to notice my dry lines!! Breathe and act nonchalant!!
The first minute was awkward. Then, my eyes started to focus less and relax. Since our eyes relaxed, so did our minds. Suddenly, it was as if we had special powers as I felt like were able to express love with our eyes. i felt gratitude. I might not always express it but I can see all you do for us, hubby. It hit me that it had been a while since I properly looked at my husband. He’s actually really cute. I forgot how I adored his button nose. In the moment, I saw our son in his face. I also noticed baby lines ever so slightly seeping out at the sides of his eyes. Wow, we really are growing old together. I didn't know he had freckles like me, cool! Later that night, he told me he loved the two freckles on my nose and how much it made him want to nibble my nose.
Before children, I would always greet my husband in the hallway when he returned home. Now with 2 little ones, life is a busier and while I still greet him by voice, I don’t always turn around to look at him.
I know life can be busy guys but never let life fly by that you miss each other. I encourage you and a loved one to look at one another for a minute. No words necessary. You’d be surprised how much you can say with your eyes. Makeup by @aikotsangmakeup #love #ctkkitphotography #marriage #life #cherish #hongkong #reallife #grateful #photography #itsbubz #bubzvlogz
