Some of my most favorite moments are between moms and their little ones. Motherhood is gentle but tough, and there’s something incredibly special about photographing it. Here are 3 reasons why I believe you need a motherhood session at least once with your babies.

Look through your phone and tell me how many photos you’re in with your kids within the first few scrolls. I’d be willing to bet there’ probably aren’t many, if any. Selfies only half count here! Moms are often the ones taking the photos, behind the camera. That means you’re documenting your family’s beautiful day-to-day moments but you’re hardly ever represented in them, too. Your kids deserve to have photos with their mom throughout their childhood to have.
Let’s face it, we all know that dad’s typically can’t the biggest fan of picture day. Motherhood session = no dad, so you don’t have to drag him to the studio! Just bring the kids and we will play dress up, have a dance party, and some great tickle fights. This session is to document the special moments you share with your babies. Dad’s can always join us for family portraits another time!
We all know that babies don’t keep, but neither do toddlers. Or kids. Or even teens. Somehow, in the midst of the day to day life, I find myself now looking at my own children, well out of toddlerhood and realize it happens in a flash. It’s never too early or too late to invest in professional portraits with your children.

Motherhood is an incredible journey! It opens your heart to the strongest, most incredible, unconditional love. Becoming a mom is the most beautiful (yet sometimes challenging) change that can happen in a woman’s life.

Mommy and me sessions focus on capturing the special bond that you share with your little ones and make it last forever.

Here a few reasons why you should book a Motherhood photo session:

- Moms are usually the ones in charge of documenting their family history, which means that they are often the ones behind the camera. A mother and child session allows moms to be, for once, at the center of the images.

- It is a great reason to have some ‘me time’ to get ready before the session (think manicure, blow out, professional makeup, etc.)

- It celebrates the most beautiful role of your life.

- It is a gift to yourself. When your babies grow up and leave the nest, you will treasure these portraits and memories of love with your children.

- It is a gift to your children to see how much they are loved and how special they are to you.

- Motherhood portraits will help you remember details that cannot be captured like the feeling of your baby tiny hand in yours or their delicious smell

Make an investment that you will never regret and book a motherhood session to create beautiful portraits of you and your children! And if your partner is not inspired for Mother’s day, feel free to share this blog ;-)
