Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone (and my mom, especially)!

I love this recent portrait I took of this little girl - holding on to her mom's hand for support and encouragement. It seemed so simple at the time - Emma wants to stand and she needs mom for balance!

But, looking at it now in the light of Mother's Day, I am getting a little emotional about what this image really signifies: all the times that mom is there to hold our hand, suppport us, teach us something new, comfort us, care for us, and to one day do one of the hardest jobs in motherhood...let us go!

Happy Mother's Day to all my M. Larson Photo Moms - all the moms-to-be and new moms I have photographed throughout the year.
