Mum's the word...

People oftentimes comment that being photographers, we must have a ton of photos of our lovely daughter, Mikka. That we do, that we do... Unfortunately, we haven't had as much chance working on them to share with you. We try our very best not to spend all our time in front of the computer, we want that last bit of free time just hanging out and having fun with our sweetheart. But it's mother's day and I want to say I am proud to be a mum. So, here are a few taken in the past week...

One of the hazards of being photographers is that we don't have a lot of photos with ourselves in them.

Mikka has grown so much in the past few months since I last blogged about her. While motherhood is no easy feat, I savor every second that she holds on to my leg, totally dependent and looking up to me to keep her safe. And I hope I can make that promise. I know I will try...

...the same way that my mum has kept me safe and sheltered. If only I can do half as good a job as she's done with my sister and me.

I need to photograph my mum more often. This was taken today at dinner.

Although this isn't my first mother's day as a mum myself, it's the first one I'm spending with my mum and my daughter...

Happy Mother's Day to all mums out there... you all rock this world!

Laura dear, how are you? If we can raise Mikka into a fine young lady the same way you've raise your fine young men, then we've done our jobs as parents.

Hope everything's well with you and Dave!
