I am an only child and I am a girl.  They say that girls tend to be Daddy’s girls.  You know what? That is true in many cases but there is a bond that is between mom and daughter that is so strong and it seems in so many cases that it develops later in life.   I find that many daughters are so much like their mothers and the funny thing is that we don’t really appreciate it until we are older! I love my mom and I know she loves me. The other thing that I love is being able to look back on old photos of her and I and it is truly a blessing.  Does it matter that you are 4 years old or does it matter if you are 50 years old-No. Your mom is always your mom and your kid is always your kid, no matter what age that kid is.  Yes, I admit it. I still call my mom “mommy” and I don’t care who hears it

I just did a session for a mom and her daughter and I was so inspired by them and their relationship that I had to write this blog. Tammie and Mia were so special and I enjoyed EVERY MINUTE of being with them and photographing them with their special relationship.  They flew in from Colorado and had their portraits done here and I just really loved working with them. Cannot wait to see them next year! I hope you enjoy their photo.

Any minute, you will blink and mothers day will be here.  If you are a mom, bring your daughter in for a photo.  She might be excited about it and she might not but when she is older, WOW…she will think it is the best thing that she has and she will cherish it forever.  If you are a daughter, bring your mom in for a photo because I think that one day, you will hold on to that photo like it is the biggest treasure.

As part of this blog, here is one of my biggest treasures of all times. I could tell you exactly where we were, the year, the way she smelled…and the funny thing, I didn’t even want to be there. In a rare occurrence of me showing a photo of me, here is a photo of “me and my mommy”
