MOTHERHOOD & FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSIONS
The Experience
Motherhood is a cherished journey—a beautiful blend of love, connection, and joy.
My goal is to celebrate your unique story with timeless portraits that you can treasure for a lifetime and proudly display in your home. Each session is thoughtfully designed to capture the genuine bond between you and your child, from tender embraces and sweet kisses to moments of pure laughter and love.
How it works
Scheduling
Capturing your baby or toddler’s milestones is a special experience at any stage, but there’s something truly magical about preserving their first year. Here are some helpful tips to plan your session:
3–5 Months:
At this age, your baby is gaining control of their head and likely entering the sitting stage. This is an excellent time for photos as your baby will be alert, curious, and responsive. Their engagement during the session will result in heartwarming, memorable portraits.
6–9 Months:
This stage is perfect for capturing those adorable chubby cheeks and baby rolls. As they sit independently but aren’t yet mobile, it’s easier to focus on beautiful, timeless moments. Around six to nine months is an ideal time for a mommy-and-me session as well.
9–12 Months:
As your baby begins crawling and showing their unique personality, their energy and playfulness create opportunities for candid and joyful portraits. This is also a wonderful time for a family session where your little one can fully participate in the fun.
1 Year:
Turning one is a milestone worth celebrating! At this stage, your baby is full of energy and curiosity, exploring their surroundings with wonder. While this makes for dynamic and lively photos, it’s important to prepare for their natural movement during the session for the best results.
2 Years and Beyond:
Once your child reaches two, they’ll likely have longer attention spans, making them ready for slightly longer sessions. Whether they’re playing or posing, this is a great age to capture their vibrant spirit. At any stage, we’ll work together to find a time that beautifully captures your child’s unique personality and your family’s connection.
