Moms play such a huge part of a wedding day, and also the days, weeks and months (and years :)) leading up to it. In many instances they are part of the planning process, some financial support, maybe a DIY helper, and definitely emotional support along the way. I love to capture these moments between a mother and her child (or grandma and her grandchild), especially now that I am a mom myself. I can really start to understand how bittersweet it must be to step back and see your baby starting this whole new life! I have to admit that the emotional mother/son dances get me a little bit teary-eyed nowadays.

So, here's to all the moms! You are loved, appreciated, and yes, we will try to call more often.

This is just a small sampling of some of my favorite "mom" moments... Thank you to so many moms (and dads) who invite me into your homes (usually while the bride is getting ready), and really make me feel like one of the family - and usually insist that I eat something! :)
