mother’s day
May 7th, 2010
came with this note:
I invited my mom over to take her to pre-Mother’s Day lunch and get a photo of her in my studio. (photo shoot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/halcyon/sets/72157623883404689/ )
I had recently scanned in the oldest pic I have of us (I was just days old) and thought it would be fun to do a Young me-Now Me with her if she was game.
We did it with a remote in my studio and it was a BLAST. She held her pose as I was scouring the house for something that resembled my baby blanket. We laughed so much I ruined several takes by smiling. And she came very close to ruining several by crying.
It was a beautiful experience.
This is my favorite! As a mother of a son, I entirely understand why his mother could not stop crying. Listen, all you adult children out there: It doesn’t matter how big you get or how serious you become, you are always and forever OUR BABIES.
awwwww! That is so sweet.
This is so lovely. I have tears in my eyes! (I have a 12 week sold son, this might be why!)
this is seriously one of the sweetest things I have ever seen; I don’t even know you, and I am a little teary! I am totally sharing this with my midwife friends!!
This is my favorite, too. Such a bundle of joy, you turned out to be! You and your mama should be in the history books! Thank you for sharing this. I am jealous of your mama, and wish you both many years of laughter and love.
I LOL’ed at how sweet this is!
This reminds me of the book I used to read to my kids called “Love You Forever.”
Am I the only one that finds the second photo creepy? (The first one, very sweet however)
CREEPY!!!!
Mmm. Think I’d be worried if my son wanted to do a photo like this…

This is the most adorable thing ever! What an awesome idea and an ingenious way to celebrate your Momma’s Day! <3 Thank you so much for sharing!
OMGosh, this is too adorable!~
