Mother
The Call: Like Her — Cheryl
Growing up, everyone told me I looked like my father, or — even more so, his sister Mabel. Once in awhile I’d look in the mirror and see what they saw. No one ever told me I resembled my mother’s side of the family, and I could easily see why. But one day, stopping in front of a mirror shortly after my mother died seven years ago, I saw her staring back at me. Now, she’s there in the glass more often than not.
The Response: Self-Portrait with Daniel — Jessica

Jessica, I am incredibly impressed by your daring and your shot. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous! And the fact that your child is illuminated while you are in the shadows speaks volumes.
Thanks, Cheryl. It’s not quite as daring as it looks – I had on a tank top! ; )
I definitely see your mother in you. Quite the same way I can see you in Stella.
I’ve always looked just like my mother and as i get older it only becomes more pronounced. That was a great call!
