Mauri and Aidan {mommy and me photos, mother and son photos, children and family photographer}

Where do I start. Mauri entered a contest I had on Facebook and won a free session with me. We decided to meet at SSU and use a few different spots on the campus for our session. Through out the session one thing, ok two things were clear. One, Aidan was one of the sweetest most adorable 5 year old boys I've ever met. So kind and sweet and very personable! The second thing was that Mauri was such an amazing Mother and their relationship and bond was so amazing and so radiant. They were best friends, you could just tell this instantly! After getting to know Mauri I found out that Aidan's Father left when Mauri was 3 weeks pregnant and still has not met Aidan. I was shocked. I won't even start on how that makes me feel and where I think "boys" like that should go. But what I can say is that this Mother has stepped up and done the job of a Mother, Father and then some! It's evident in the way Aidan presents himself and how they are together that Mauri has done a better job as a single Mom than some parents do as a team. I've said it a million times, I don't know how I'd do it if I didn't have my Husband. I honestly think I am a better Mom because of him. But when I see someone like Mauri, I see that she is a better Mom than I could ever dream of being because of the love for her son. She provides for him in ways many people can't and for that I'm so greatful she won this contest and I was given the opportunity to meet her and her amazing son. Oh, and she has amazing taste in children's names!! Go Aidan!! with an A-N !! ;)
