The Motherhood Collection

I know, I know... so cliché, right?  But if you've gone through it once, you know exactly what that means.  One minute you're fumbling through those newborn nights, trying to figure out feeding schedules and wake windows and then, in a blink of an eye, they're the big kid saying 'mama, I help too!' as you both tend to the new baby lying in the bassinet.  And if you're new to motherhood, welcome.  I'm so excited for you and your family to experience the best chapter in your lives.

The days are long, you will always be tired, but through it all, you are doing the most important job in the world - being their mom. I'm sure you will have thousands of cherished photos on your phone capturing all the day-to-day activities and sentimental milestones. Here's a nudge to go ahead and pay for that icloud upgrade, it's worth it.

And now it's your turn. A chance to get in front of the camera with your children. An opportunity to let me take away the stress of planning outfits and getting your hair and makeup ready amidst the chaos. A reward to see your family legacy displayed in your home as you carry a sleeping baby up the stairs each night or turn the album pages as you tell stories that begin with the words "Remember when..."

You tirelessly care for your family, day in and day out. 
Now it's your turn to be pampered.

What they say is true -
babies don't keep.

GO AHEAD, MAMA -
BE PART OF THE MEMORIES.

Let me take care of all the planning.  I'll use your preferences to curate wardrobe selections for the whole family.   No need to spend hours online shopping for the perfect dress.  Mamas and children get to enjoy borrowing dresses and outfits directly from my client closet.  I'll also provide location options so that you don't have to worry about a thing.

Get excited, it's session day!  Grab your morning cup of coffee (or tea, if you're like me) and relax.  Take a few moments to yourself to do your hair and makeup while dad watches the kids... or better yet, have one of my favorite HMU artists come do it for you!  Just bring them to the session with a clean face and we'll slip them into their outfits onsite. 

Your gallery will be ready approximately 2-3 weeks after your session.  You will receive a full digital gallery of your images to use as you please.  You'll also have an opportunity to choose your favorites and I'll begin designing your custom gallery wall, heirloom album, or other artwork.  We'll be sure that these images won't get lost on your computer!

A full-service experience
designed to make your life easier.
