Well done Steve. Nice quiet gentle light creating a comfortable portrait of 
your mom. I've always found photographing lady seniors this kind of soft 
light is best, particularly when you know they're going to see themselves 
later in print ... or instantly if digital.

Older folks, particularly ladies like soft light, "How did you do that? Make 
my wrinkles not show?" Is the question I'm quite often asked.:-)  "it's 
magic.";-) is my usual response with a smile.

Good on you Steve for taking the time to get photos of her, so often we 
don't and miss the opportunity all together.
