Happy Mother's Day? Yes, this is a long awaited update on a post from Mother's Day 2010. We were wanting to honor the mother's in our lives, by hosting a contest. So, we asked you, our readers and clients, to submit a contestant for our contest. The original post is HERE, and definitely worth reading if you have not yet. There were so many touching entries, but ultimately we could only draw one. Michael Steele was the lucky one! A few weeks ago we were finally able to fulfill the prize, a full photo session for your mother and family, complete with our awesome proof box as well. It took a while coordinating schedules and out of town family, but I hope that the Steele families are blessed by the images we were able to capture of them together.

Please read Michael's original entry and then enjoy the pictures, after hearing about such a wonderful family:

            "I'd like to nominate two moms for the mother's day portrait session. My mom and her  mom (mawmaw). There are a couple of reasons as to why. First off, they had a portrait session done with the two of them a few years ago, but all the pictures were lost when my parent's apartment caught fire in January '08. To have another set of pictures done for them would be a big recovery for a lot of the sentimental treasures that were lost in the fire. Also, to give a little context of their relationship, my grandpa died of esophageal cancer back in 2004. His death rocked my mom and mawmaw's world. Over the last six years, the two of them have grown incredibly close, leaning on one another for strength and encouragement. When my grandma got sick a couple years back and was passing out from her medication, my mom was there to take care of her. When my mom went through three major surgeries, Mawmaw was there to take care of her. They have become one of the most important people in each others' lives, and because my mom is the only daughter, there is a bond there that is really rare to see. I can't imagine how incredible and "storytelling" it would be to have pictures of them together at this stage of their lives. They are both living legacies at this point.

Another reason for my nomination is because of where my mom is at right now. After struggling with her weight for all 25 years of my existence, my mom has lost over 80 pounds in the last 5 months, and she looks as good and as healthy as I can ever remember. Mom has always been a joyful person, but since the weight loss, there is a new joy that everyone sees in her. I would love for our family to have pictures that document this stage in her life. (especially Fidelis pictures!)

Thanks for hearing my story."


Here is a good one of the whole family, Grandmother, Parents, Children, and Grandchildren.
