Happy Mother's Day

It's all about this woman. The mother. In the the throws of doing what she does best. Loving and smiling. I have only known Jill for about a year when we started capturing images of her new baby girl, but have had quite a few sittings with her beautiful family since then. I have to say, I have NEVER seen her in a bad mood, loose her temper, or display anything but smiling patience - even in the face of challenging situations. I collect people in my head. I collect people who I admire and who have characteristics I choose to emulate. I have collected Jill. So happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I wish you joy, patience, and peace. But above all, I wish you the love in the moments. All the moments.
