Since I do a special photo session for most of my gift guides, I thought you’d enjoy seeing some alternate photos from my Mother’s Day shoots through the years.
My first Mother’s Day session was 2016, when I was just a little over 2 years old. As you can see, it was pretty simple — just me and a tiny shopping bag. The backdrop was a fleece blanket.
As far as I can tell, I didn’t do another shoot for Mother’s Day until 2019, and that was just a photo of me in the turret. I think my human randomly grabbed it from another session. The next shoot I could find was 2021, and it was actually from a photo shoot we did the year before. She did a session with me outdoors in some pretty dresses, and this was one of them. We had a lot of photos from this shoot that didn’t get used. The tree made a fun prop. After 2021, we’ve gotten pretty consistent with Mother’s Day shoots and posts.
The next year, 2022, I got to pose in a dress and hat, and my human gave me this big yellow rose as a prop.
2023 — same hat, different dress, and pearls! Same front yard. Note that all the front yard shots are similar but each has a different feel.
I think 2024 was my favorite shoot. A friend of my human’s loaned her this basket for some Easter photos. We never did use it for Easter, but she thought it would be perfect for Mother’s Day. And it was! I had a then-new Victorian style collar that matched the basket, so it all came together really well.
And you’ve already seen 2025 above and in the post before this one. We had to return last year’s basket, but my human liked the idea of using one. So we took all the Easter things out of this one and reused it for Mother’s Day.
So what do you think? Which setting did you like the best? Let me know in the comments!
