Back in May, Vitaliy and I hosted a Mother’s Day Giveaway in order to honor all of you hardworking mothers out there. The winner of the contest was Holly Bendz who has become an advocate for Cystic Fibrosis since her daughter, Maggie-Faye, was diagnosed. Holly asked, back in May, if we could wait until September to do her session because she was pregnant and wanted to wait until she was showing more. We were thrilled to do that and it turned out to be the best decision to enjoy the beautiful September weather. I am also twice as excited because I would love any reason to celebrate motherhood another day. I hope all of you men out there do not wait until next May to celebrate and recognize all that the mother of your children do.

So to all the Mom’s out there — thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication to your children. The world is directly affected by all that you do so thank you! I couldn’t pick a better image to display motherhood than the one below. Here is a sneak peek from Holly’s session with us. Enjoy!

I love both of my little niecelettes–the one with the elbow dimples and long eyelashes AND the one who has yet to bless us all with her presence! ‘Just beautiful!
Thank you so much for this photo! We live 2,000+ miles away and it means so much to be able to see our Goddaughter and mom’s “belly”.
