A Mother's Gift

Happy Mother’s Day Sisters!

In honor of the mother’s out there, the generous and ever-so-talented sisters at Blue Poppy Jewelry are offering one lucky shutter sister their thoughtfully created motherhood necklace especially for Mother’s Day. It’s our first ever giveaway here and we are delighted it’s come from Blue Poppy. You know we’re big fans. As a matter of fact…we’ve got a very exciting project in the works with them that will soon be revealed (here’s hoping your interest is now officially piqued) but for today, it’s about our little celebration of motherhood.

Because many of you are busy basking in the glow of handmade cards and clay handprints, today we’re making it easy on you. All you have to do to be included in the random drawing for the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace is leave a comment here anytime between now and Monday at midnight EST and on Tuesday, we will reveal the lucky winner. If you’d like to share a link to a photo that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in that mama way, you are most welcome but the only thing you have to do is leave a comment.

Speaking of warm and fuzzy…what about this gorgeous and poignant self-portrait a la Toyfoto? Her work makes me weepy. Weepy or hysterical with laughter. And as synchronicity has it (I swear it was a total coincidence), it’s her birthday today. Happy Birthday to you Siobhan! Is it me or is there something kinda magical about that?

Again, Happy Mother’s Day to you. May you enjoy every minute of your day. And don’t forget to hand over the camera (or at least use your self-timer). You can always use a photo of the day to enter the MamaFocus contest too. Just a thought.

edited to add- Congratulations to Anna of the blog Hank and Willie. She is the lucky winner of the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace. Hooray for Anna! Thanks to all of you who commented. It was nice to get your Mother’s Day wishes. We hope yours was wonderful.

I adore the mama's bare feet. What a gorgeous shot!

I was vacuuming this morning and the vacuum handle fell on my thigh, leaving a nice big bruise. Not the Mother's Day gift I was expecting. ;) But now the baby is napping and I've got my first set of Holga negatives to scan. I think things will start looking up soon...

Big love to y'all!! Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mama's Day, ya'll!

Won't link you to a photo of warm fuzzies because all my kid photos are warm and fuzzy to me. And I have 4 dogs...need I say more?

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Happy Mother's Day Sisters!

I wish I had more pictures of me and my little one together but seeing as how I'm the shutterbug in this relationship those opportunities are rare. But here's one taken ages ago on my birthday with my then 7 month old on my 'about page'

happy mothers day! Love the picture!

[Boogaloosworld]

Beautiful picture!

[Janine]

When I am loving on my little Kaya I think to myself, "There is no other mother who loves her child as much as I love this little girl." Then I come out to Shutter Sisters, and the links within, and read beautiful missives on the love that all you mothers have for your children... and I discover I am wrong. But Kaya doesn't have to know that.
