Today I got to take my Mom's portraits in my "makeshift" home studio.
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington

A mother understands what a child does not say.
The photo below was us at the end of the session. After 2 hours of helping me clean my house she still sat for portraits with a smile. Isn't she just a beautiful mom?
Yes, she is. Inside and out!
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of her self. And mothers are their daughters' role model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their relationships. ~Victoria Secunda
