If you’re like me, the majority of the 51,000+ photos on your phone are of your kids. And then there are plenty of your husband with the kids too.

But when you scroll through your camera roll… how many photos are there of you with them? If you’re anything like most moms (myself included), it’s the smallest category. And most of them are quick selfies. 😮‍💨

You deserve beautiful photos of you with your babies- the way they look at you, the way they hold your hand, the way they fit perfectly in your arms right now. You will get a whole gallery with a wide variety of groupings and poses, but don’t shy away from getting in the frame with your babies. Because one day, these are the photos they’ll treasure most.

Photos are an investment, yes- but they’re one that lasts a lifetime. And moms deserve to be in the frame too.

📸 If you’ve been meaning to book a session but keep putting it off, this is your sign.

“That was so chaotic, I’m sure we didn’t get any good ones…”

WRONG. Oh so wrong! The chaos you feel is your family being their authentic selves and it actually makes for the best photos.

Kids running around? Beautiful action shots.
Someone being grumpy? Sweet snuggle pics.
Need snack breaks? Sweet treat smiles.

Don’t ever feel like we got zero good images because I guarantee your gallery will be filled with images you’ll treasure forever 🤍

How long did it take to get from the idea of this session to actually making it happen?

5 minutes? 5 days? Weeks? Months?

It took MONTHS. I had a vision for a “dreamy boho golden hour session in tall grass” in the spring. My friend bought her daughter the dress. But with life, weather, and schedules, it just kept being pushed off. But finally in August the picture in my head came to life.

It was hot. We got a million bug bites. But I got THE image that I had in my head. I didn’t give up on that vision and even though it took a while to get there, I just love the result.

So don’t give up. Keep your goals and visions in your head and they will happen when it’s just right 🤍

Sometimes the in-between moments are the best 🤍

We were moving from one spot to another and while the kids were playing I caught this absolute GEM of an image where they were just being themselves. Not posed, just sisters having a good time!

These two besties have one of my favorite origin stories! In 2017, my friend Alex and I were due with babies 4 weeks apart. She went a week past her due date and I delivered 3 weeks early so our babies ended up being born only 4 days apart! They have been best friends from the get-go, having their first “play date” when they were only single-digit days old. Charlie said “I would do anything, anytime with my best friend- even sword fighting” 😅 and while they may never sword fight together (hopefully), we do hope they remain best friends forever!
