3 Reasons Why You Need a Motherhood Session

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

Now Introducing - Valentines Day Petite Sessions!

Hey y’all! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I’m so excited to announce Valentines Day petite sessions for little ones on the morning of February 1.

These luxury petite sessions are a fun and fabulous way to capture your kiddo at their current age and stage! The sessions will be quick and easy for your little one - in 10-15 minutes, we will capture a variety of expressions and emotions, and then you’ll select a favorite image from the session for one of two options:

  • a set of 25 Valentine’s Day cards ready to pass out to friends at school or send to family and friends

  • a gorgeous framed 5x7 print of your choice!

These sessions will include optional use of the timeless clothing options in my studio wardrobe for kids up to size 6! Petite sessions are meant for one or two children - families of 3+ should plan to book two back-to-back sessions. Upgrades will be available when you receive your viewing gallery for families wishing to order multiple sets of cards for each child, additional frames and other wall art or digital images.

As an added bonus, for every Valentine’s Day petite session booked, Rachel Friedman Photography will donate $20 to The Children’s Heart Foundation to support congenital heart defect (CHD) research.

To book your session, simply select your time in the scheduler below and pay the session retainer. Within 48 hours, you will receive a contract and pre-session form via email that will finalize the booking of your session!
