My First Photo Shoot! Maternity Photos: Kristyn + Ryan

Oh, these two! I just love them! A few weeks ago I posted pictures from Kristyn and Ryan's baby shower bbq. Yesterday, I got to spend a couple hours taking amateur maternity photos of them! Kristyn is such a beautiful mama and her baby boy is so lucky to have her!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Dear Mom,

One day a year is not nearly enough to tell you how much I love you. It's not nearly enough to tell you how much I appreciate you. It's not nearly enough to tell you how honored I am to be your daughter.

 I have spent 28 years watching, growing, and learning from you. I am the woman and mother I am because of you and I am forever grateful.

Thank you. Thank you for teaching me kindness, thank you for teaching me generosity. Thank you for teaching me what it means to be a strong woman, for teaching me what it means to fight through a tough situation. Thank you for teaching me what it means to love the way you love me, unconditionally.

Everything I know about loving and caring for my daughter, is continually learned from you. I couldn't have been blessed with a better mother, a better friend, a better Nana for Lucy. We love you more and more every day!

You are the best! I love you!

Happy Mother's Day!

Kerri
