Vote for Christina!


I recently got a post from Christina asking for some help. She is a really good photographer and has taken, maybe, a gazillion photos of Nadya. Her picture, left, is a finalist in a baby photo contest. I will let her explain:


Wow! I entered a Mother’s Day photography contest with a $1000 grand prize, and I just found out I’m one of 20 finalists!

So now I need as many votes as possible. Please, will you go vote for me?

It might seem like an odd choice. There are no snuggles, no kisses, no grins in this picture. You can’t even tell it’s us. But to me, this image defines motherhood more than any other.

I look at this photo and am transported back to that moment in time: the first time my little girl brought me “flowers.” It was an unexpected gift, a moment that made my heart swell with love, burst with pride. A moment that made me thank God for making me Nadia’s Mommy.

Motherhood is full of frustrations and triumphs, tears and laughter and worry. But it’s the moments that catch us by surprise and fill us with more love than our hearts can hold which make motherhood what it is.

And the moment captured in that picure was one of those motherhood-defining moments for me. And that’s what motherhood is about.

I’m Momology – Adventures in Motherhood and Photography.

Thanks a million!
