I feel like I received an award and need to give a speech

First of all I would like to Thank God.  I appreciate all the amazing commentary and would like to share some of them as well as my motivation for choosing this specific photo.  There were many options, in some of them I looked flawless, but this photo was not about me.  It was about showing a mom of three toddlers, a wife doing her best to be the bride her husband married, and showcasing where my family looked their best.  It really captured that I put myself together, look a little tired (I haven't slept in six years for beautiful reasons) and that I give all of myself to my family and it is worth it.  The lighting is natural, it was a captured spontaneous moment, so the angles weren't posed for optimal body image, and there is no photoshop.  Luckily we all had these colors that pop so nicely in the photo, so more thought did not go into flattening my belly or wearing other clothes.  I did not focus on me, because this was about us as whole family unit.

What I love about this photo is what you will read in the comments of my friends that I will post below.  I really feel they express what I feel is so powerful about the image.  I will not write who commented, but you know who you are, and I love what you see.


Oh my! You are such a beautiful family. Sort of Boticelli inspired placement of the goddess and her nymphs.

What a fantastic photo! With mommy anchoring it all.. Or am I reading too much into it? 

Yulia: you are a goddess! you are so gorgeous, calm, and strong. I love this picture:)

Love this pic!! Your family is beyond gorgeous and you are definitely the anchor and beacon!


Thank you all for your comments, likes, and love,
Coach Yulia
