Ain't No Mama Like the One I've Got

Shannon Sorensen April 24, 2018

What do you want for Mother's Day?

Every year my husband asks me this and every year I stammer and wrack my brain and end up mumbling "Uhhhh I don't know, breakfast something something quiet day something something I don't need anything."

I don't really need anything. We're healthy and happy. I have everything I need. But what's the point of Mother's Day but to honor the women who are so special to us, in whatever role they fill in our lives. And to be celebrated. Am I the only who for some reason feels guilty for being celebrated? How silly is that? I grew two humans! That wasn't easy! It's still not easy. haha

With Mother's Day a couple weeks away, I can think of no better gift to give than time together taking beautiful photos of mamas and their babies. Whether your babies are tiny or in high school or grown up, or you want generational pictures and include your own mom, or your babies are covered in fur and keep your feet warm at night. There are so many ways to be a mama, and they should all be celebrated and honored!

So, when you are asked what you want for Mother's Day? Send them here. Have them email me at hello@shannon-sorensen.com. Or if you are the one doing the shopping, I can send a printable or physical gift certificate to give alongside that awesome breakfast in bed!

And if you book a documentary family session with me now through the end of May for the remainder of 2018, you'll receive a free 5x5 coffee table book featuring your favorite 10 images (a $90 value) from your session! This offer is valid for family, motherhood, fatherhood, maternity and anniversary sessions - it does not include newborn sessions. Contact Shannon for session pricing and details. 

There is no better time to capture memories with your family!

I can't wait to hear from you!

Welcome!

I’m Shannon, a local Connecticut artist specializing in modern abstract realism & expressionist art.

I have a passion for helping others to see the creative potential in themselves, and empowering them to explore & enjoy it.

When I’m not painting, parenting, or working at preschool, you can find me gardening, reading past my bedtime, spending time outdoors, and playing in my at-home art space.

This space is for sharing my latest paintings, projects, studio updates, and thoughts about creative living.

Get a glimpse at my day-to-day over on socials!

If you enjoy my art & writing, you can show your appreciation & buy me a coffee on Venmo - @shannonsart. Thank you!


Earth without art is just eh.

Every order through my art shop plants a tree in areas in need of reforestation. So far, since 2020, we’ve planted 111 trees in North America.

You can plant your first tree for free, and learn more at www.OneTreePlanted.org.
