Nicole Kidman Celebrates Motherhood, Family With Photo Shoot

Nicole Kidman is celebrating motherhood this Mother's Day with the release of  beautiful pictures from a mother-daughter photo shoot.

The pictures show Kidman - who was shooting on location for the June/July cover of Australia’sHarper‘s BAZAAR, - spending  time with her daughters, Faith, 16 months, and Sunday Rose, 3 1/2.

Although the actress initially intended the photos to be used privately in her own albums, Kidman explains the reason she changed her mind and released the photos -at the coaxing of the photography editor -

“I think it’s okay because you can’t see their faces; they’re still protected,” she explains. “I feel it’s a really lovely way to celebrate being a mum and being a family.”
