As a Charlotte photographer, I get to experience a lot of different families and many beautiful mother-daughter/son relationships. One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is when the bride and her mom are in the dressing room all alone and there’s that moment when her mom realizes just how beautiful her daughter is and how unbelievably happy she is for her. I can always see it in her face. It’s like she’s running around a mile a minute and then suddenly time stops and she remembers that her little girl is all grown up.
I remember this moment on my own wedding day. I’ll never forget it and I’ll always cherish that time that I shared with her. I’m not sure if I ever really knew how much of a role my own mom would play in my life at the age of (almost) 30. She is the person I go to when I need advice, the person who grounds me, and the person who gives me so much strength. I honestly don’t know where I would be, or who I would be, without her.
To all the wonderful mothers out there and especially to my own, you deserve all the happiness in the world because you have the most important job of all. To all of my beautiful friends who are mothers or are soon to be, I can’t tell you how much it warms my heart to see you be moms. You are all so strong. Happy Mother’s Day!
