Because you deserve to be in the frame, too.
As moms, we’re often the ones behind the camera—snapping photos of sweet moments, documenting milestones, and capturing everyone else’s joy. But when was the last time you were in the frame, just loving on your babies, with nothing else to think about?
That’s where a motherhood session comes in.
These sessions are all about celebrating you—your connection, your strength, your softness, and the way you love your children in this exact season of life. Whether you’re a brand-new mama or deep in the toddler years, or seasoned with grade school, middle or high schoolers...this time is worth remembering, and you deserve to be seen in it.
So what can you expect?
Cuddles. Laughter. Snuggles. Love.There’s no stiff posing here—just movement, play, and the kind of heartfelt moments that make your mama heart melt. We’ll let your babies be themselves, whether that’s clingy, wild, giggly, shy, or somewhere in between. I’ll gently guide you through natural prompts to help you feel relaxed, confident, and present.
Yes, you can dress up. Yes, you should.
This is your time to feel beautiful. Slip into a flowing dress, let your hair down, and feel fully you—not the rushed morning version or the end-of-day exhausted one. Many of my clients choose outfits from my carefully curated client closet, designed with these sessions in mind: soft textures, beautiful movement, and earthy, timeless tones that photograph like a dream.
It's not about perfection—it's about presence.
These sessions aren’t about getting your kids to “behave” or smile on cue. They’re about documenting the way your child reaches for you when they’re unsure, the way you instinctively lean in when they laugh, the way you look at them when they’re not even noticing. Those are the moments you’ll want to remember.
You’re doing it. And it’s worth capturing.
Motherhood is equal parts magic and mess, and you are in the middle of it—doing the most important work. This session is a love letter to your kids and a gift to yourself.
Let’s freeze time for just a little while.
