As this Mother’s Day approaches, life looks a little different in our house. We now have THREE daughters, which is something I never fathomed I’d say (or write). ……

I wanted to give a shout out to all the amazing mamas out there, as well as those who dream of one day gaining that precious title. From my experience, it’s the hardest, most trying job I’ve ever known, and it is the greatest privilege and something I don’t take for granted. Being a mom brings me more joy, laughter, and fulfillment than I ever could have imagined. Each stage of motherhood has certainly had its highs and lows thus far, and with each stage of childhood, I have found myself saying “this is my favorite one yet” — because there’s just so much goodness to soak up at every age.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I wanted to share some favorite shots from the past year showing just that — a mother’s absolute love and adoration for her babies, big and small. I hope all of you mamas out there feel the love this weekend — you deserve it!
