As Mother's Day approaches, my mind inevitably drifts towards a special mama I had the pleasure of photographing not too long ago. She is a true inspiration - a military wife, a dedicated professional, and above all, a loving and nurturing mother to her children, one of whom has autism. Being in her presence was like being in the presence of a beacon of positivity and strength. She somehow manages to juggle the demands of her career, the challenges of military life, and the complexities of raising a child with special needs with grace and unwavering determination. I found myself in awe of her ability to handle it all with such ease and poise.
