It's that time of year...

Our mothers are the most wonderful people in our lives. Her strength, compassion, and tenderness have shaped us into the women we are today. Though she truly deserves to be celebrated every day of the year, thankfully there is a designated holiday to shower her in gifts and love.

But even though this holiday rolls around the same time every year, somehow there is always a scramble for last-minute gifts. Let’s be real, our mothers do so much for us. They never forget a birthday, a holiday, or a special occasion. No matter what age.  At one point our mothers were packing our lunches and driving us around to practices and friends’ houses. And despite this being the one day a year to thank our mothers for being just that — our mother — we seem to find ourselves not thinking about the date until it’s a bit too late to really get her the perfect gift.

This year, in particular, make sure to keep her in mind weeks in advance. When pondering about what to get mom to show her your appreciation and express your love, reflect on the year. How can you note such a pivotal time in our families’ unity (hello, we’ve been stuck in a house together all year!)?

Over so many Mother’s Days and through all the gifts given, the ones my mom has cherished the most are always pictures of our family and her children. She keeps them printed in big frames, canvas and even keepsake books around the house. If you’re like me and always struggling to find that perfect gift, this is where your search ends. If you are in Burlington, Cherry Hill, Moorestown or the surrounding area, book your photo session in advance to give to your mom on Mother’s Day. Contact Lisa at 856-297-0910 or at lisa@lisamongullaphotography.com for more information on booking your Mother’s Day session or gift certificate today!

Whether these sessions are of you and your siblings or you want to bring your whole family along, there is nothing as special as documenting this period in your family’s life. Time is flying, especially as of late. It’s so easy to lose track of time and forget pivotal moments in our lives. These photos will capture these moments of who your family is, right now. And unlike all the photos we store on our phones, you won’t run the risk of losing these in one fatal drop on the pavement or plunge in a puddle.

Most of us can agree, our mothers deserve the world. We celebrate them for loving us and offering endless support. At the end of the day, the best way to celebrate your mom is to spend time with her making notable memories. These sessions do exactly that.
