To mark this year's Mother's Day, we gathered some lovely portraits of moms from all around the world, as taken by their talented offspring.

We are highlighting nine photographs that caught our eye, accompanied by a comment from the photographer explaining what makes his or her mom so very special.

Take a look through our selection in the image gallery above. Have you snapped a pic of your mom that you're particularly proud of? Please share it in the comments section below.
