Mother’s Day In Pictures
I was going to write a lengthy tribute to mothers, but I’ve read several brilliant Mom Tributes and I can’t think of a better way to say, “Happy Mother’s Day” to all the hardworking mothers of the world. I hope you enjoyed the day honoring the women who love and nurture our children — Mothers, Step-mothers, Grandmothers, Godmothers, and every motherly influence in our lives.
We had a low key Mother’s Day which included attending Mass, buying a beautiful rose bush for my mother, having a Mom’s Day Buffet at Ambrosia’s in Amherst (best buffet I’ve had in ages), and taking creative photos of the family. Here are some of my favorites:
My little bro, Frank, decided to wade in the freezing Tomorrow River just so I could take a picture of him on this rock. He’s enlisted me to take his senior portraits for him this summer. I’m excited about all the possibilities!
This little boy is desperate for a tree house, but we don’t have a tree strong enough to build in. Uncle Nathan hoisted Dawson into the crook of this tree in our front yard. Dawson loved every second of it.
This is a photo of the Tomorrow River. I love the large rocks and the way the current just slowly trickles around them. I photo-shopped this image to make the colors stand out a bit more. It’s one of the best scenic photos I’ve taken.
My brother Nathan is Dawson’s Godfather. Dawson loves his “Uncle Nay-son” because he plays lots of fun and wild and exciting games with him. And they climb trees. That’s Dawson’s favorite part.
And lastly, a simple rose from the bouquet that Dawson gave me. It truly was a beautiful Mother’s Day. More photos here.

Sweetie,
I had no idea how good with the camera you are. Those shots are great and better than any tribute I saw out there for Mother’s Day!
