The perfect Mother’s Day Photos
Mommy and me photos are something every mom should experience at least once in their lifetime. After all, what is more special than freezing those sweet moments with your children in time? The bond you share with your children is evident in your every day life, with the care, soft cuddles, and nighttime routines. The crocodile tears that compel you to do everything for them because you are their hero. The tiny hands that fit every so softly into yours, the warmth of them when they caress your face. Being a mom is living with your very heart outside of your chest.
And more often than not, we are invisible in photos – taking plenty of them, and seldom being in them. Booking a special portrait session for mommy and me photos will forever mark your presence in images that both you and your children will treasure forever.
Mommy and me photos can be customized backdrop and color wise to suit your personal decor and style – muted, neutral, or in deep rich color. When we discuss and plan your session, all of these details will be meticulously crafted for you.
Looking for more reasons to book mommy and me photos? Check out the list below!
1. Capturing your journey in motherhood
Your journey into motherhood is forever changing. From sleepless nights with a new baby, to teaching them their letters and numbers. Watching their first tooth come in and their first tooth fall out. From holding a tiny baby, to taking them to their first peewee soccer league or dance class. Bandaids, bruises, and broken bones (hopefully not). From being their one and only source of comfort, to being a trusted confidant – these are all moments to celebrate. You will find yourself, and your methods changing as well.
2. Preserving your unique connection
These images celebrate your bond as mother and child. Posing and interacting with each other throughout the session captures these little moments, but also builds on your existing connection and confidence together. These photos will highlight your love and closeness.
3. A cherished keepsake & heirloom
Years from now, you and your children will look back on these photos with fondness, and how you made them feel as they grew up. The artwork that will come out of these sessions will be passed down through generations and the telling of your family’s personal story and heritage.
4. You are perfect as your are NOW.
This is a moment to encourage your own self-love and appreciation. Often-times we get too caught up as women in being our own worst critics. The “I can’t do this now, i need to lose some weight” or something of that ilk. The fact of the matter is, to your children, you will always be perfect. This is an opportunity to see yourself as they see you. And why not give yourself some pampering while you’re at it? Book hair and makeup too, so you feel extra confident the day of your photos.
5. Capture milestones
Mom and me sessions are a perfect way to capture milestones – from baby’s little chubby legs taking their first steps, to the adorably crooked and sometimes toothless smile as your little one loses his or her teeth. To the grace and maturity you see glimpses of in their teenage years. To the moments they suddenly become taller than you. It is all worth documenting in a beautiful way.
6. Create a family tradition
Perhaps, this becomes an annual or periodic event for you, to document the changing dynamics of your family. These sessions create a lasting bond, an opportunity to capture your affection, to laugh, and cuddle and smile together. This is a time to step away and celebrate and focus on each other without your daily distractions.
