Mother’s Day: How to celebrate mom with pictures

Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May; this year, Mother’s Day is on May 13, 2012. The relationships shared with moms are appreciated through a variety of gift ideasand gestures including family meals, times with their loved ones, taking the day off from chores, flowers, poems, or taking a day trip out of town.

When mother’s day comes around, you probably start to think of what mom means to you. A creative way to celebrate mom on Mother’s Day and to show her your relationship is important, is to make a statement of how you appreciate mom through photos. May is known as National Photograph Month – what better way to let mom know you love her than to express it through thoughtful photos.

Some ideas for creating your photographic statement of your relationship with mom is to create a collage of items she enjoys. Perhaps she is a fan of flowers or animals. You could always take a trip to Zoo Miami and takepictures of both the local flora as well as the many animals the zoo has to offer. Places such as Fairchild Botanical Gardens and Pinecrest Gardens are both excellent locations to get great shots of flowers for mom as well!

Is mom a fan of local culture? Coconut Grove and Coral Gables both have a great deal of history. Consider walking around Cocowalk or strolling down Miracle Mile for some interesting photographs of Miami history and bits of culture from the Magic City.

What does your mother enjoy? How can you celebrate Mother’s Day for her during National Photograph Month?
