Kid-carting Photographer Is Called Superwoman; Says It’s Just A Normal Day

If you are a mother, then you already knowing being a superhero is just a part of the job description.

But one Texas Mom is being hailed Superwoman after a photo of her went especially viral. For Melissa Wardlow of Grand Prairie, Texas this is just her daily life.

For Wardlow, Friday night attire includes a preschooler strapped to her back, a baby on her chest, a bottle in one hand, and a camera in the other. You might consider her to be a bit of a superwoman, especially when you hear that she teaches full-time, cooks every night of the week, and has her own photography business.

“I throw the kids on and away we go,” says Wardlow, whose husband Josh is a football coach at Lake Ridge High School in Mansfield. “I started taking pictures before I had kids, and I was on the sideline when I was pregnant. It didn’t matter; I was on the sideline.”

Last Friday was just a typical night for this multitasking Mom when photographer John F. Rhodes shot a photo of Wardlow during the game he was shooting for The Dallas Morning News. It first appeared online in a Dallas Morning News tweet Friday night and went viral in a Facebook post.

It’s now racked up more than 7,000 shares, a fact that Wardlow didn’t even realize until people told her she had gone viral.

Wardlow isn’t on Facebook or Twitter, so she didn’t realize the picture was gaining traction.

What she did know is that “my phone has been blowing up since Saturday.” Her friends called her and texted her, “saying I was famous and basically [the photo] had gone viral,” the 32-year-old photographer said.

Despite juggling so much, this mother appears at ease and unflappable. Perhaps that’s what caused so many to share this on social media. Maybe her natural calmness struck a chord.
