Mom. She’s the epitome of comfort. She kisses our boo-boos and wipes our tears. She makes us something to eat when we’re hungry. She gives us hugs when we need them the most.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, I offered a complimentary photo session to a Mom who needs it the most. And after reading through the nominations, I felt that Sarah Seibert’s submission very touching. She wrote, “My Aunt Tina has been a mom now for 17 months and has NEVER had a family portrait done.”

Well, that’s not right. It’s time to change that.

Thanks, Sarah for telling me your Aunt Tina’s story. I’d be honored to take her first family photo.

I love my Mom.

With Mother’s Day only a month away, I’d like to take some time to think about my Mom.

She made many sacrifices, battled cancer twice and still made time to love me and take care of me. She put her family first and was proud of every little goal I accomplished. She also didn’t seem to mind that I learned to whistle at a very young age, and was happy that I was determined to practice my newly discovered skill during a family photo session.

Yes, that's me. I'm the 2-year-old adding "character" to our family photo.
