What is your favorite thing to photograph? This is a question I get asked a lot. Obviously, my own kids are my favorite, but for clients I seem to go back and forth between families and newborns (which is pretty much a family session anyway). I used to not be able to pinpoint what it is about these sessions that made my heart sing, but then I realized that I am obsessed with watching a mother and her child(ren) through my lens. Shooting what I see and what I want them to see when I am finished with a gallery. And then I realized…why not have shoots that focus on this. Motherhood. It’s not like mommy and me sessions are a new thing. Everyone does them…or almost everyone. Generally, around Mother’s Day you will see your social media feed blow up with mommy & me minis. But, why should we just focus on this beautiful bond once a year? I recently decided that I want more of theses shoots. Our babies need to see their mamas in the frame! I’m guilty of staying behind the camera. But I’m here too and I want my kids to know that. Every day I am here. Every day I love them. I want to show that love through photographs. Something tangible for my kids to have when they are older. And I want you to have it too. I want you to see the beauty in motherhood.
