Happy Mother’s Day!!!

May 11, 2008

Just a little something to start out with. My mother’s day otter pic!

In honor of mothers day I would like to dedicate this post to my mother, Sue.
My mom has been a wonderful support throughout my life. She has taught me that I can be anything I want to be. She has supported EVERY one of my decisions, even when they were crazy ideas. Even when I wanted to quit my job, after 12 years, and pursue photography!!! She was my number one fan. I remember her always boasting about my photography and I would say “it’s just because you’re my mother that you love my work.”

She believed in me before I believed in myself!

HERE is that wonderful woman…

I took some portraits of her/us too…

So in honor of mothers day,
I thank you for raising 2 children by yourself. Thank you for sacrificing for us, thank you for showing me what it is to be loving and giving, unconditionally to any and everyone! Thank you for giving of yourself and NEVER asking for anything in return. I APPRECIATE you mom!
Thanks for teaching me how to cook, to sew, to change the oil, air filter, and tire on my car
Thanks for teaching me how to work hard and “do it yourself”
Thank you for showing me how to be an independent, self-sufficient woman.
I am the person I am because of your love. Thank you
A million thank you’s
Happy Mothers Day. I wish I could give you the world and make all of your dreams come true. You deserve it!!!

Oh and I’d also like to give a shout out to ALL of the mom’s out there!!! I don’t have any children myself but I DO know how hard you work and how exhausting it can be. I honestly don’t know how you do it…I am amazed!
