Columbia’s Child Photographer | Mother’s Day wishes

May 11, 2010

OK, so I’m late for a Mother’s Day post. I have a great excuse. And better late than never!

This year, my daughter brought me breakfast in bed. My plate had little heart-shaped waffles, cut with our cookie cutters, and maple syrup. There were about 5 fresh strawberries from our potted garden in the syrup. She even brought in a Dr. Pepper….which my friends know, is a real addiction for me. I don’t do coffee. But I do just a little too much DP. She also gave me a lovely bag of handmade gifts and cards. There were about 3 cards and 4 different art projects she had made for me, including a purse of her own design made from a silver belt (that she informed me no longer fit), a spandex book cover, and cardboard to hold the shape. It was so clever! She never ceases to amaze me with her thoughtfulness, compassion, intelligence, and kindness. How in the world did I get this lucky?!!

Mommy had a very late night working the night before and was so tired. And my darling girl let me go back to sleep after my breakfast and happily greeted me when I finally managed to roll out of bed. I almost went into the office to plug away at all the custom orders waiting to be filled on my desk right now. But I stopped myself and decided there would be no work on Mother’s Day this year….well, no major work. Maybe I would check email and voice mail with the iphone. It’s a real challenge separating from the job and having family time uninterrupted when your office is in your home!

So we went to the park for a picnic and played. And we took a really long walk in the neighborhood with our crazy dog. And we relaxed and talked and giggled. And it was awesome! And I hope all you mommies reading this had a wonderfully special day too. And I hope you were reminded of just how lucky you are!!!

I’m posting some images I took of my girl a couple of weeks ago. We had a late session at the peach orchard. One of my resolutions this year is to take more images of my own daughter. And as you can see from the images, she totally loved being mommy’s number one subject again:)
