In Praise and Thanksgiving of Moms

My mom, dad and I :: circa fall, 1979

We owe a lot to our moms. (And probably more so now for putting up ridiculously old pictures from the 70′s. Um, sorry ’bout that. ) They sacrifice. They sustain us, comfort us, provide for our most basic needs. Our moms give us life. Breathe their energy through us so that we may be everything that we aspire to. The things that we dream for ourselves, they dream bigger.

We moms don’t ask for much. Plenty of please’s and thank you’s are nice. Integrity. Honesty. The determination and passion to stick up for what you believe in. Maybe a little peace and quiet every once in a while.

Maybe she hasn’t asked for anything for Mother’s Day. Maybe she has. Imagine the wonderful gift you could give her, to have beautiful portraits made of your wife, your mom, or to a special person who’s just-like-a-mom in your life. To always remember her as you remember her. Laughing, smiling, loving :: being the incredible person that she is.

Because I know that I don’t have nearly as many photos of my mom as I would like. Do you?

Gift certificates for sessions or products are available, and this year, you can give her the one-of-a-kind memory that will last lifetimes. (Gift certificate orders for Mother’s Day are due by this Saturday, May 1…email me at info {at} cathymoresphotography {dot} com for details.)
