Mother, you are special | Bay Area Lifestyle Photographer

We are approaching Mother’s Day once more! I can hardly believe I’ve been a mom for the past 7 years and I have to confess I can’t remember how life used to be before my Luna arrived into this world.
Photographing families over the years I learned how these images are so important specially to the moms. Kids grow so fast and these are the only treasure that will keep their memories alive.
Here are some more images from the Mommy and Me Special, along with some other beautiful ones I had the opportunity to capture this year.
To all of you beautiful and strong moms, I wish to you a wonderful Mother’s Day, not only on this day, but everyday!
I absolutely love photographing all of you and my eyes always tear up when I’m editing images like these.
You are loved!

Last year I quoted a poem that to me, describes motherhood like nothing else does. At the end of this post you will be able to read it again. ** If you are like me,  grab the tissue**

Midnight Rendezvous

It is with something less than
maternal goodwill that I crawl,
asleep and annoyed,
from my coveted bed
to silence your angry screams
violating the night.

We rock in the chair
that has been ours since
the very beginning,
ensconced in
Great-Grandmother’s afghan and
the VCR’s ghostly green light.

Mute now, but for
periodic, pitiful whimpers,
you cling to me like some
abandoned creature reclaimed.
Clinging back,
I am Every Mother,
an all-knowing, all-bestowing,
all-loving, all-forgiving
paragon of matriarchal perfection.

Feeling your sweet, soundless breaths
tease the tangles of hair
on the back of my neck,
my last trace of irritation
over interrupted sleep
dissipates in a hug, a kiss,
and a smile.
You will never remember
these midnight moments together;
I will never forget.

–from Mother of Sons,
by Jayne Jaudon Ferrer
