Mother’s Day Gift: “Momma Love”

By Posted on

cover_sized_forWebstore-350x350Looking for a great Mother’s Day gift idea (or just for a great gift idea in general)? Check out Momma Love by photographer and local mom Ali Smith! Momma Love is a book of Smith’s photographs that depict “how the mother half lives.”

Over a 12 year span, Smith captured the stories of all different kinds of mothers, all of whom were questioning traditions and paving their own paths through motherhood.

And while the book makes a meaningful gift any time of year, there’s some special news timed to Mother’s Day this year. For each copy of her book Momma Love sold through MommaLoveTheBook.com between April 8 and May 8 (Mother’s Day), Smith will be donating $10 to WIN (Women in Need).

WIN provides shelter and services to homeless women and their children in NYC. Smith will be going to WIN at the end of April to take and print portraits of the kids so they will have something to gift to their moms on May 8.

To purchase a copy of Momma Love and have it count towards Smith’s donation tally, visit MommaLoveTheBook.com!
