You've been putting this off long enough.
You know exactly what their laugh looks like captured mid-air. You have forty-seven photos of them sleeping. You've documented the first tooth, the first steps, the first time they figured out how to open the fridge. And in almost none of those photos are you anywhere to be found.
I understand why. You don't feel like yourself right now. You're tired in a way that's hard to explain to people who haven't lived it. You're wearing the same three things on rotation and the idea of being in front of a camera feels like one more thing to organise when you're already at capacity.
But here's what I know from the other side of it. The photos that mothers cry over twenty years from now are not the ones of their children alone. They're the ones where she's in it. Her hands. Her laugh. The specific way her child looked at her when they were small. Those are the ones that matter most, and they're the ones most likely to not exist.
Motherhood sessions are unhurried and real. We'll shoot on location at golden hour somewhere that feels like you. I'll bring wardrobe options so you don't have to think about it. I'll guide you through every moment so nothing ever feels awkward. You just have to show up.
