There’s one photo Sharon always comes back to—the day her son was born. In a single frame, her whole world changed. Her life, her perspective, her sense of self all captured quietly in that moment.
To anyone else, it might look like an ordinary photo of a mother and her newborn. But for Sharon, it’s a reminder of where her story as a mother began.
She started printing with Mootsh in 2023, while she was pregnant, wanting to create an album her son could flip through one day. It felt like second nature. Her parents had done the same for her—filling albums with birthdays and vacations, but also the simple, everyday moments in between. Those photos are still some of her most cherished things, a map of a childhood that was loved and lived.
Now she’s doing the same for him. Each month, she slows down to choose the photos that feel like this season: garden walks, coffee cups, quiet afternoons at home, and her dog Teddy curled up close to the family.
What she’s creating isn’t just an album. It’s a story made of small, beautiful moments that tell her son who they were, how they loved, and what life felt like when he was little.
Because one photo can hold so much more than we realize. A kind of magic you can only see when you look back. One day, when her son flips through those pages, he’ll see not just the photos—but his story, told through her eyes.
