Mother's Month May is Here!!!! Happy Mother's Month to all of the Mother's out there. We all have our own stories to share about our mother's or ones about being a mother, so here is the quick and dirty version of mine! Mother's Day is a bittersweet day for me. 7.5 years ago my Mother and Best Friend lost her battle with Colon Cancer.
At the time of her diagnosis, my husband and I lived in Orlando and within 2 months decided we needed to move to VA to be with her and help take care of her. I knew that I never wanted to be the one that said, "I should have"...or "I wish we would have done..."...we just did it(yes my husband is a saint). And in that 3 very short years, we did things I hope everyone is privilaged enough to do with their mother, i.e. took her on a surprise all expense paid vacation that she never had, talked tons about everything and more, went to the movies, gave pedicures, and she even got to see me (her baby) have our 1st child and see him through his 1st birthday! Losing her was a complete "game changer" for me and really drove my passion for photography even deeper. I have no regrets! I truly understand the meaning of a photograph, whether it is in my mind or on my wall.
On a lighter side, I am a mom to 2 wonderfully opposite children. My son is a type A child who does amazing in school, is a people pleaser, and is definately the "straight-laced polo wearing" kinda kid. He is very passionate.
My daughter, well she will give us a run for our money. She is the "shy at first", free-spirited wild child that is perfectly content in her neon pink leggings with an opposing color/pattern top and barefeet with wind blowing through her hair. I am so thankful that I am able to capture all of this in each of them!
So to honor all of the Moms out there, we have some great monthly specials.
- Hopefully you did not miss out on our Kotori Jewelry Special we were running for Mother's Day. But if you did and want to take advantage of some gorgeous custom jewelry for yourself or for your mother/grandmother/sister/etc... we will make a gift certificate for you to give them either showcasing the jewelry you picked out for them or a certificate listed for a certain amount that they can spend on their jewelry purchase with us.
- From now until May 6th, we are offering our existing clients (session prior to April 30, 2013) to purchase prints from their sessions at discounted rates as long as MOM IS IN THE PICTURE!!! We are offering 5x7 for only $20 or an 8x10 for only $30 or an 11x14 for $60! No limit to how many you can purchase.
- How about a Darndest Things Session. There is no better session that captures where your child is at this point in time in their life than a Darndest Things Session. What is that?? Well this session is recommended for children ages 4-13. Upon booking, we will send you a list of questions that you will ask your children (like "What do you want to be when you grow up?") and you will send the answers back to me. I will design a session around those answers. You will recieve a 1 hour studio session and an 8x8 20 page coffee table book showcase this great time in their lives...all for $250. This is over a $150 savings! This is available through the month of May.
- Why not get the special mom in your life "Boston Bucks"! Boston Bucks are our Gift Certificates that are offered in any monetary amount greater than $20. From now until Mother's Day, when you purchase $50 in Boston Bucks as a Mother's Day Gift, we will gift you $15 extra in bonus cash! FREE MONEY
