The joy of motherhood
With Mother's Day fresh on our minds, I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate it than capturing my best friend and her daughter in the sweetest part of life.Their relationship is so precious, and I've loved seeing her journey to and through motherhood.
This session was full of the little moments that make motherhood so beautiful: tiny hands wrapped around mama’s fingers, giggles in between poses, cuddles that can’t be staged, and the kind of love you can feel instantly just by being near them.
One of my favorite things about “mommy and me” sessions is that they freeze a season that mothers are usually too busy living to fully see. The way their children look at them. The way they instinctively reach for them. The quiet tenderness in the in-between moments.
As moms, we’re so often the ones behind the camera, documenting everyone else’s memories while rarely stepping into the frame ourselves. That’s why sessions like these matter so much. Years from now, these photos won’t just show what this season looked like — they’ll remind them what it felt like.
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to get in front of the camera with your babies, let this be your reminder that the little moments are already worth remembering. The cuddles, the laughter, the hand-holding, the way they still reach for you without thinking — these are the days you’ll want to hold onto forever.
Mama, you deserve to be in the memories too. 🤍
