About 2 weeks ago I got to check a HUGE photography dream off of my list :):) I got to photography my mom <3 I have asked her for YEARS if I could, but her confidence has always struggled to let me. Which is WHY I wanted to photograph her!! To show her how incredibly beautiful she is, just the way God made her. I wanted her to see her God-given beauty and be excited to show others :):) To walk tall and be comfortable in her skin. To feel worthy of the compliments others have always given her. When she asked me to take some of her a few weeks back I tried not to cry lol I did scream and jump for joy tho!! This was my chance. To help my mom in a way that would be life changing for her :):) And fans, it was!! It was everything I'd hoped it would be!! She felt silly on the shoot, of course, cuz she hasn't had photos taken of just her since her SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!! I couldn't believe it either!! But once she got the hang of this being in front of my camera business and let go, magic happened :):) My mom looked so lovely, she went out of her comfort zone to show me she loved me :):) She even brought a hat which I honestly don't think I have EVER seen my mom in a hat. But she really should wear them more often :):) Her face just lit up with happiness, pride in who she was and owned her shoot!! When I showed her the pictures, I was terrified I'll be honest. She NEVER likes the pictures I take of her - cuz she has never understood anything but stale, posed, blah studio pictures. The artistically manipulated 'perfect'. But to my surprise... she LOVED HER PHOTOS!! My heart soared. *Tear* for the FIRST TIME EVER I heard my mom say how beautiful she felt, how pretty she looked and that they only pictures she didn't like were the silly face ones of us goofing off LOL!! Which was like 3 hahaha and those I only take for ppl to remember the fun we had on our shoot, which I explained to her and then she loved those as well hahaha After she left I said the BIGGEST thank you prayer to my father in heaven. I thanked Him for giving me the talent, the ability, and the opportunity to help my mom see herself how He has always seen her. How we have always seen her. She has always been beautiful, ALWAYS. But now, my mom sees it in herself. And there is NO GREATER COMPLIMENT then knowing that my mom, KNOWS she's beautiful. <3 She was soooo excited to post her pictures and kept asking me if they were done yet :):) She has received 100's of compliments, comments, likes, and loves on her images :):) This shoot was not for me, this one, was for my mom. <3 Mom, I love you so very much. You are so beautiful, so loving, so caring, and SUCH a great mom. I'm so very thankful you're mine. Thank you for the BIGGEST COMPLIMENT EVER, for letting me take pictures of you. To show the world you're not just an artistically manipulated studio image but a real-life, gorgeous, fun, outgoing, loving and caring woman. I'm so happy to see you love yourself!! <3 Taylor Jay Photography http://bit.ly/TaylorJayPhotographyFb Come join my Taylor Jay Photography Fan Page!!
