If you are like me, you call your Mom every day. You know the smell of her face cream and can immediately call up an image of her laughing in your mind. She is your friend, your guidance counselor, your cheerleader and sometimes your most honest critic. If you are like me, your kids are your world, even when you feel like you might lose your sanity if they track mud into the house one more time. You kiss them while they are sleeping and feel like your heart might burst when they are proud of their own achievements. You want to them to stay young forever but are equally excited to see them grow into the people they are meant to be. They make you laugh, cry, scream, feel the need to take deep breaths and above all they are a part of your heart and soul.
I know us mamas are not always kind to ourselves, wanting to wait until we look our very best before stepping in front of the camera, but just remember your kids love you no matter your wrinkles, muffin top, cankles, double chin, crazy hair or monthly acne break-out. Just get in the picture!
I invite you to Celebrate Motherhood with me this spring. Evening session times only (after 5:30 pm), and times are available April through June, 2014. Connect with me by clicking Contact above or at mandy@mandyblakephotography.com!
Here is one of me, my Mom and my girls taken last Mother's Day. I cherish this picture and I am so glad I have it to pass on to future generations. I am also pretty sure that my girls will be happy to show it to their children one day, certainly while saying, "WHAT was up Mom's hair that day?" ;)
