At the beginning of this year, I pledged to make more effort to photograph “mature” women. In the last two months that I’ve been MIA here, I received bad news about two of them.

One was an artist that I only recently started following. It took a mere few weeks for her to go from the sudden diagnosis to meeting her eternity. The other one is currently fighting her battle that was started recently. Only two months ago, I thought she has good genes as her mom made more than 100 rounds in this world.

I know we all are going to meet our final destination one day. But whether beknownst to us or not, a generation is quietly leaving us. When that day comes, would you be happy with the memories that you’ve preserved about them?

Mother’s Day is coming up. While I’m sure moms will not stop being moms (or stop doing what moms do) the other 364 days of the year, it serves as a reminder to ask ourselves this question:

When was the last time that you had a photograph professionally done of your mom, for your mom and/or with your mom?

I hope the answer is satisfactory to you. As I always say, “life won’t wait”. It’s especially true for a certain generation. When they are gone, a generation of stories are gone.

I’d love for a chance to hear their stories and present them in fine art work that will be treasured for generations to come. Please fill out the simple form below to start the conversation:
