“You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow, they will be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today. It will be over before you know it.” Like most mamas, I get misty-eyed reading this quote, knowing my children will not always be this small. At some point, it’s a realization most parents experience and it forces us to focus on the present, savoring each moment with them—with intention and purpose.

When Tamara reached out to me, I knew this session would be special because I could sense how much her children mean to her. As a single mama with two boys ages 3 & 9, she certainly has her hands full, but she is relentlessly loving, patient and kind towards them. I could see throughout our time together how much she cherishes every second with them and how much they equally adore their mother. 
Thank you, Tamara, for trusting me in documenting your sweet little family. I hope these images will always remind you of how blessed you are, how loved you are and how everyday with your boys is truly a gift. (11.09.19)
