Our church emailed a request for photos representing motherhood. So, I sent in a few pictures that I had taken of some friends as well as this one that was taken by my friend, Michelle Pragmann. The lady at church said it reminded them of a magazine photo and so they were inspired to change up the normal format of the bulletin for the Mother's Day service. I've always loved the picture, but been embarrassed by my messy hair and obvious roots. :) It was a great day of photography. Michelle had just bought a new camera and we were having some fun playing with it out in the hill country. I don't think I had showered at all and was just wanting to spend some time in fellowship with her and maybe learn some photo secrets of how to capture moments with my sweet Suzy. After seeing some of her pictures, I was inspired to start my own quest with photography. With some perspective, it really is a picture of my love for Suzy and what I hold as the ideal of Motherhood. Love with a selfless regard for oneself. Suzy couldn't care less that I was "un-kept". She was just thrilled to be spending the day with her Mommy.

That's awesome, Marti! I don't think your hair looks as bad as you think, especially the way they cropped in for the bulletin. I'm sad we'll miss the Mother's Day stuff at church. Please save me a copy of the bulletin so I can see it!
Wow! The first thing I noticed about the picture was the look of joy on both of your faces. :)
That's really cool, Marti!
