Photography Magazine Extra’s owner’s mom Mary Margaret has been very ill for the past year. The owner took her Mom under her wing and cared for her and it was all-consuming. She dedicated her entire life to making her Mother’s days as best as they could possibly be. She devoted herself to making each and every day as good as it could possibly be sacrificing anything at all for her Mom. She took a break from the magazine but now she is back.

She put the magazine on the back burner for a year and often said, “I have the rest of my life to travel and create. I do not have the rest of my life with my Mom.” The staff kept things running but we are going full force getting back to normal business.  That is how Mom would want it to be.  “Mom was my very best friend all of my life. I never had someone treat me so well that I could trust and love so much. I had the most wonderful relationship of a lifetime. For that, I am so grateful. I will dive into my art to escape the emotional agony. Mom will send me creative energy. Watch for what I am about to create.”
