On this Mother’s Day I would like to take a moment, not just to celebrate new and young mothers, but the mothers/women who raised us. Too often the attention is focused on mothers, who like me, have young children. I find this to be especially true when it comes to photography. My clients tend to be new mothers and young families, and I love that! But I was honored to capture a few moments with this loving mother and daughter pair having fun at the beach. The two are very close but live miles apart only seeing each other a few times a year. What better way to remember each other when apart than with a gift of beautiful photographs?
I would also like to take a moment to thank my mother; she has always been there for me. My childhood was one of constant flux, but my mother’s love was steady and unconditional. She was, as a matter of fact, a fashion photographer for a period in time, so it is not surprising in some ways that I have chosen to express myself through images, though as family portrait photographer, my subjects are much closer to my heart.
Here’s to all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day.
