Farther down in this newsletter, we bring you four photographers and moms with their children. Each image is a celebration of sorts. In the last photograph, you’ll see a little girl with a camera pointed at the sky. Does she symbolize the hope of the future? Of another generation ready to document and preserve our celebrations? All I knew when I took it: She is my daughter, and I was celebrating the time I spent with her.



Have a happy Mother’s Day, however you celebrate it.
