Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades and friends - but only one mother in the whole world.

How true is that quote? Mothers are so special. It's no wonder we have a day dedicated to celebrating this pivotal relationship. There is nothing as pure and enduring as a mother's love. I love taking photos that show this bond in it's purest form. They are the pictures captured when you aren't expecting. It's those tender moments that paint such a powerful image. These are a few photographs that I wanted to share in celebration of this extraordinary person, Mom.










Any mother could perform the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.
