Mother’s Day is a time to honor the women that have helped make us who we are. In their honor, we’ve put together a gallery of photos taken by fifteen of our favorite mom photographers on Flickr.

The majority of the women featured in this list are completely self-taught photographers who decided they would learn to take high-quality pictures of their children while they were still little. That way they could have artistically beautiful memories to share throughout their children’s’ lives. These women from different countries and cultural backgrounds share a common desire: to preserve their children’s memories and the stories of their days together. Share this post with your mom or significant other to say ‘I Love You’ for Mother’s Day!
