To all the mothers—
The ones holding tiny hands and the ones holding space from afar.
The ones running late but still showing up.
The ones doing it all while doubting themselves.
The ones who carry generations of love in every hug, every sacrifice, and every sleepless night.

You are incredible.

Motherhood is not always gentle. It is fierce, relentless, and deeply rooted in love.
It asks everything of you—and somehow, you give more.

You are not just “mom.”
You are a safe place, a lighthouse, a steady heartbeat in a wild world.

Whether you're in the thick of it or looking back on those years with soft eyes—your strength is unmatched.
Your love? Unforgettable.

From one mama to another: you are doing an extraordinary job.

I see you.

I see you behind the camera, smiling at your kids.
I see you fixing crooked collars, brushing hair from little faces, making sure everyone else looks just right.

I see you snapping away at birthday parties, soccer games, and backyard adventures — but somehow, when you look back at the photos, you're missing.

You deserve to be in the picture too.

Not just for you, but for them.

One day, your children will pull out old photo albums (or scroll through digital ones), and they won't care if your hair wasn't perfect or if you hadn't lost those last few stubborn pounds.
They’ll just want to see you — the way your eyes crinkled when you laughed, the way your arms wrapped around them, the way you made them feel safe and loved.

Right now, you might have plenty of photos of your kids with their dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles — smiling, playing, hugging.
You might even have a handful of selfies you’ve snapped together — rushed, a little blurry, your arm stretching as far as it can reach.
And while those are beautiful and real, you deserve more than just hurried selfies.
You deserve beautiful, intentional photos that show you there, too — loving them, laughing with them, living right alongside them.

Because the truth is, being a mom is one of the most extraordinary, meaningful roles a person can ever have.
You are their safe place.
Their biggest cheerleader.
Their teacher, their comfort, their home.
You hold so much love in your hands every single day — and that deserves to be remembered, to be honored, to be seen.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate all the beautiful ways of being a mom —
whether by birth, by choice, by heart, or by love.
Every mama deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.

Being in the photos isn’t about looking perfect — it’s about being present.
It’s about telling the full story of their childhood — and your motherhood.
You are a part of the story.
The most important part.

And Mama, you deserve to have photos where you're in the frame, smiling and laughing and holding your babies close.
You deserve photos that show how much you love and how deeply you are loved.
