Why is it Important to Photograph Your Mom?

Moms tend to be the one behind the camera capturing moments of their families but seldom are the ones being photographed. Sometimes it's because it was too hard to set up the camera for a group shot and sometimes it's because she was too self conscious to be photographed. It happens to the best of us. But when was the last time you had professional photos done with your Mom?

Your Mom doesn't need a coffee gift card for Mother's Day. What she wants is to spend time with her children, with you. Especially as you get older and your life gets more busy as you focus on advancing in your career or starting your own family. Your Mom totally gets it, but it makes that time you spend with her now all that more special. So why not book a photo session with her for an afternoon of fun together taking beautiful images that you can both cherish forever?

But when was the last time you had professional photos done with your Mom? For most people it was at their wedding, which is important for sure but it's nice to take the time to focus a little more on the woman who raised you. To make sure she feels comfortable in front of the lens and take some photos in a more relaxed environment, where you can spend the time together and make your relationship the priority.

The photos that you get with your session are ones that you can cherish for years to come. These photos of you both together are something that she will adore, because the best gift you can give your Mom is you! She loves the photos of her family, but it's time to put her in them. It's also something that you can pass along to your kids one day, when they want to know more about Grandma and see you as a younger woman. These photos can accompany the stories you tell them of the most important woman you know.
