Last week I realised how fortunate I am to have my Mum. I got a phone call from my husband saying “your Mum has been taken to hospital, it has been touch and go but they think she will be alright.” You know when you feel yourself walking, but you don’t know if you are actually moving at all? Not nice at all! My Mum is fine now, but she did come dangerously close to not being here. It made me think, yet again how much I love her and how fortunate I am that together as a family we take a lot of photographs.
I don’t however have many images to look at of my Mum from when she was my age (young!! hehe!). Do you have many of your Mum to look at from her younger days? Do your children have these precious, priceless images at all? Imagine being able to show great-great-grandchildren one day what your Mum looked like!
I find that a lot of women don’t like having their photograph taken, as Mothers we don’t get that time to take out for ourselves as we are always putting everything and everyone before us! Maybe for your Mum you could give a gift to her and in turn future generations of your family.
A photoshoot *just* for Mum! One where we get to celebrate the woman that she is, the beautiful nurturer and soft place to fall. The one that really makes us feel like it will all be ok – as she said it would be! This is aimed to be a fun and joyous occassion for your special Mum/lady!
This photo shoot includes the following:
In house consultation, including wardrobe and accessories assistance
Up to 2 hours total of fun, laughs and photographs
Lunch and champage
1 Album containing 10 5×7 images (chosen by Mum)
TOTAL of $300
Dates are filling up very quickly leading up to Mothers’ Day, so please email or call asap to secure your date and time ($100 booking fee required, subtracted from the total cost). I know by taking a lot of self portraits last year during my image-a-day I realised what a great gift I have now got to give my daughters, and their children etc etc. Here are a few more to share with you:

What an awesome idea Suse! I still love looking at your SP’s too.. One day I’m hoping to do the 365 challenge.. We’ll see!
This blog’s great!! Thanks
.
Oh my goodness, I’m so glad your mum is ok!
That is a great idea, I can’t wait to see some of the photos you take.
I so agree with everything you’ve written here, I often think I don’t have enough photos of me for my kids, thats why I’m so glad I at least have the ones you’ve already taken for me.
Hope to have you take some more in future!
I was just reading in Sandra’s journal about your mum. I’m so glad she is okay and it must have been awfully scary for everyone.
I have quite a few photos of my mum and I treasure all of them. I think when you see your mum in a photograph it’s like looking at her from a whole different perspective. That ‘mum’ cloak sort of falls away and you can see her as she is. Great idea to do ‘Mum’ Shoots. xxx
Aww…I’d love to do a mum shoot for my mum, what a cool idea…not sure about this year but you never know. Come to think of it, I’d love one myself. Think I’ll email this link to your blog to my hubby…maybe he’ll get the hint!!!
