Morning friends! Isn’t this maternity shot by Cori Kleckner Photography so lovely? All the ethereal photographs she captured in this Laguna Beach session are so candid and sweet.

Has there ever been a more romantic gown for a beach shoot?

Cori says, I just love the soft, dreamy tones we had that evening in Laguna Beach, CA.  This mama frolicked in the ocean while I obsessed over the beautiful light and her gorgeous lace gown. It was high tide that day so we had wet feet but it made it even more drool worthy to photograph her gorgeous gown draping along the ocean shore. Lately I’ve gravitated toward the unintentional: the random blur that you get from out-of-focus shots can be so beautiful, the unintentional movement of a hand gracing those wisps of hair—it’s all the unintentional that I feel the connection to photograph… The unintentional can be so beautiful.

Sure, Mother’s Day is about you, as a mama. And you totally deserve spa treatments and diamond jewelry and handmade cards from your kiddos and breakfast in bed and all of that. (We hope you get all of it!) But *your* mom needs a little something too. And we’re willing to bet that if she doesn’t live in the same city as you, time with her grandkids is what she wants most.

Which is why we love gifting our moms with the best in tech to keep her connected to her grandkids, face-to-face. Our kiddos love calling their grandparents using FaceTime or video chat to show them their sweet faces, their breakfast, their room, a new skill they learned, or anything else that pops into their little heads. It’s so sweet to see them interacting with each other!

Verizon Wireless gives Mom access to all the best in tech to keep her connected to family, and up on the latest trends in connected living. Even if she already has an iPhone or iPad, she might love a new case, a fitness watch, the new Samsung Galaxy S6 if she doesn’t already have a smart phone, or something else to dress up her daily life. Everyone loves a good gadget!

The only problem is convincing your kids to share the iPad when it’s time to chat! Not a bad problem to have if it means staying in touch with one of the women who loves them the most in the world.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, young and old!
