I’ve been thinking a lot today about moms and photos. I myself, being a photographer…have never had a family photo taken with Jeremy and the kids. You are probably thinking Um, WHAT? Yes, it’s true. I need to change that immediately. It saddens me to realize how many photos I have ran from in the past. There are tons of photos of the family, but very very few that contain me.
Check out this photo from yesterdays session, a happy mom and 2 of her beautiful daughters. Look how happy they are! I love the natural smiles and laughter and pretty much everything about this photo. I want someone else to have an amazing photo like this of themselves with their own mother.

My mom is amazing because she is a reserve officer. When ever she does her ‘cop-job’ there is always that thought in the back of your mind that she may not return home. She works at a children’s home, her life effects a lot of young boys and girls and their life’s effect her. She’s the definition of ‘Supermom’ and ‘Superwoman’ and I could never ask for a better mom. She can handle my autistic/ADHD, ect. brother and her trouble marker work-kids plus me; that’s a sign of pure awesomeness. So basically my mom is a supercop, awesome parent, and a rockin supermom that saves my days. And I love her.
There are about a jillion words that I could use to describe why my mother is so amazing, but not one could come close to conveying just how spectacularly selfless and honorable this woman really is. Like I said, she is selfless, almost a martyr to motherhood though dot let tht fool you into thinking she might be a doormat as well because this woman has more strength and reserve than Amy person I have ever met! A tireless worker, even in retirement she wowed the company (fire safety solutions) she works for into creating a job just do that thu can hire her, she is one organized mama! For years she worked in the construction field as a contract bidder. While she wasn’t clocked in at work she was clocked in at home. She raised my sister and I (14 yrs apart!) with so much love and compassion. We may not have had a lot growing up, but we always had mom and she gave every inch of herself there was to give to us. She weathered two abusive and ungrateful husbands, she made lunches, sewed costumes, baked shrinki dinks and cookies, cuddles for movies and read countless stories again and again. She retained her stoic grace through our adolescents and (gasp!) our teenage years! (one daughter MIGHT have been more problematic than the other ;]) she held hands and welcomed grand babies into the world (5 times now!) she’s helped us weather our own marital downfalls and picked us back up just like when we were little. She is the oppitomy of the word ‘Mother’ her unyielding, silent, stoic strength her enveloping love, generosity, and tenderness and her grace, pride, humor, and creativity have helped to foster so much in myself and I know my sister too. I know I personally am only the mother I am today because I learned from the best. If I hav be even half the mother she is I just might not screw my own kids up to much along our own journey 🙂 So you wanted to know just was makes my mom so amazing, and there you have it (in a nut shell anyway). My mom is amazing because of the character she possesses and how she used it to teach others to mother <3
It’s impossible to describe all the ways in which my mom is amazing. She loves unconditionally and without question, hesitation, or judgment. She has helped me raise my two boys after I found myself “18 and Pregnant” (waaaaay before MTV made it cool). She babysat both my boys every day for 7 years while I finished my Bachelor’s degree. And, when I moved to Denton, she drove two hours each way every Tuesday evening to get my boys off the bus and babysit while I worked on my graduate degree.
She comforted and consoled me when my youngest son was diagnosed with autism and reminded me that she’d always be there to help me take care of him. And, she has been–meeting me a McDonald’s two times a month so that my boys can stay the weekend with her and run around at her farm.
Now, she’s taking care of her 95 year-old father and her terminally-ill, disabled Veteran husband as he struggles with COPD and dementia induced from PTSD.
She has taught me what unconditional love means and I hope I’m half the mother that she is.
My mother is an amazing woman! My family came over to the US when I was just about 1 month old. She only spoke her native language but quickly adapted to living here in the states. What amazes me the most about my mother is how she is so open minded and how she radiates just a positive and uniquely hopeful attitude towards everything that has been thrown at her. She started working as soon as soon as she could to provide for myself and my two brothers. I never knew how hard things were for her until I became a mother myself. I have to give it up to her because it takes such a strong and confident woman to juggle three kids and work. I’m now in my 30’s and she is still a hard working woman handling a job and now helping me with my own daughter as well as the rest of her grand kids. I can not praise this woman enough for always being there for her family and showing me how to become a mother just like her. I admire and look up to this woman with the utmost respect.
My mother was amazing in every aspect of her life, because of the extreme kindness and thoughtfulness she always displayed. I will truly have lived a good life if I somehow can be half the woman she was. She is also amazing because even though she hasnt been on this earth in 16 years – the time she did spend here influences me everyday. She was so inspirational a person, that her legacy lives on in so many hearts each day in the present! I’d love to win and take photos with my daughter and a photo of my mom. We may never get to do the classic “3 generations” photo in person with eachother – but I’d sure love to have one where my mom, myself and my daughter get to pose together. After all – without my mom the other two of us wouldnt even be here:)
My mom is amazing because she has raised 5 awesome kids! In fact she still has kids in high school but she still takes time out to help me (her grown up kid!) and watch my daughter. I love seeing my mom’s relationship with my daughter grow!
My mom is amazing because she works hard to take care of 4 kids all by herself, and still finds room in her heart to take in other children that are not even hers when they need help. We have had exchange students, half-sisters, and just plain kids from college that needed a place to stay at our house. We have taken in cousins and friends and anyone else who needed a place to stay. My mom has a big heart and is always trying to help anyone she meets.
My mom works as a pediatric nurse and has often worked more than one job at a time to take care of home. She has worked days, she has worked nights, and she has worked weekend doubles. Whatever it takes to get the job done, my mom does it.
My mom stays on top of our grades, and is always pushing us toward college and a better future.
My mom is the best.. she has always come to all my football games, and screams loud enough for me to hear her. She has been walking up and down the sidelines since i was 9. Im 16 now and about to be playing varsity next year, cause my mom always pushes me to do my best…. My mom has been more than just my mom.. she is a mom AND a dad. and I love her so much.
My mom is amazing because she survived my teenage years and still appears to love me!
The person who plays “Mom” in my life honestly isn’t even blood, nor is she old enough to be my Mother, but she loves me more then my Mother ever did. She is my best friend, my secret keeper, and my voice of reason. She took me in when my own family deserted me, huge dogs and all. She goes with me to EVERY doctor appointment, she wants a diagnosis for me probably worse then I do. She sits in on every therapy session until I give the okay for her to sit outside. When I started having seizures and couldn’t drive anymore, she told me she would take me wherever I needed to go, and she has lived up with to that, be it a trip to yet another new doctor or a “Hey, I want a snow cone and they close in 15 minutes”. No normal person takes a friend in and treats her like family, like a daughter. Yet, that’s what Laura has done. That’s why she gets the label of my “Mom”.
Well, I don’t really know where exactly to start. My mom is purely amazing, on the Inside and on the out. And I’m not saying this because I’m her kid, I’m saying this because it’s true. She properly raise me and my three amazing brothers to become what we have today. She gave me something that every mom should give their child. Love, devotion, care, and discipline. She has taught me that life’s not about worrying about others, not about having the nicest clothes, or being popular in school. She taught me that you do what makes you happy. But that isn’t all she’s done. When I wanted to chase my dream, she dropped everything and helped me. And Ben though my dreams are constantly changing because I’m still a teenager, she supports me 100 percent. When I’m sick, she is there. When I’m well, she is there. I would never trade her for anything in the world, and I would easily take a bullet for her. She’s taken our family on vacations, road trips, parks, lakes, etc. and always kept a positive happy light in our life. She helps me out in any kind of situation that I don’t know how to handle, and sticks up for me in anything where it is necessary. And I could just keep going and going and going because she is so selfless and caring, and I’ve never met anyone else in the world like her. And I know sometimes she stresses out e cause things may not be going right, but she always keeps a smile on her face, just for me. She always wants to see my brothers, dad and I happy. Alternatively at times we do quarrel, but were always together in the end, because she’s just to perfect to be mad at forever. I cannot express into words how much I love her, heck I used to have to tell her five times before I would go to bed when I was little. I have always had a special bond with my mom, even when I was a baby I had to be touching her or I would cry. And as I lay here now, not feeling to well and typing this, I have tears in my eyes. Because I think of all she’s taught me, and all I have yet to learn. Everyday I look forward to having another positive, happy day with her, laughing till we cry (sometimes even snorting) and just enjoying every minute if life we can. Because she taught me I have to live it to the fullest, an that I have done. And I could say I love her to the moon and back, but that still wouldn’t express my love for her. She is truly amazing, and I hope everyone who reads this understands that too. I couldn’t ask for a better mom, who has given me such a phenomenal life.
Thank you mom. I love you.

My mom is my hero. She is a teacher for students with special needs here in Denton. She has given love and support to these students that often times get overlooked and ignored. She has taught us that these kids need love and understanding and most of the time they just want to be accepted and treated normally. She is a great teacher! She also works a second job because teachers don’t get paid much. She works so many hours and sometimes we don’t get a lot of time with her. It’s hard on her too because she has arthrtis and it hurts her body. But she does it all for me and my brother because she loves us. To get these pictures would make her happy and I want to make her happy.
Thanks, Grace Wood
dang, sure wish I would have entered & won this one!!! Your photos are amazing!
