My calendar is open for Mother’s Day Sessions! I am super excited to be welcoming mamas with their sweet children!
I would like to explain a little bit about my sessions and how I work. First and foremost I want to highlight that these are NOT mini sessions. These are special edition sessions created for Mother’s Day. They will take about 60 minutes and this is the time I need to build an environment for moms and their children where they feel comfortable enough to open up, feel safe and relaxed so I can capture their natural and authentic way of being and interacting with their babies. If you have worked with me before, you know that I don’t pose. I rather observe and guide when needed but overall, I like to look for spontaneous moments and capture them as they happen. Children cooperate best when they are given freedom to explore and express themselves. I think the posing makes them feel resentful toward photoshoots and creates frustrated parents on top of it. That’s the last thing I want for my photo sessions and I bet you feel the same :) .
As you will see from the images posted below, some kids like to snuggle and some simply like to play. Some kids are more active than others and that's all fine! I will let your kids be themselves and I will go with the flow.
That being said, I schedule my session during the golden hour when the light is just so magical. Depending on the location, it would be 6-ish pm.
I will spend time with you before the session to get to know you and to prepare your wardrobe as I know it can be super frustrating to do it on your own. I also have some wardrobe choices in my client closet that you are welcome to use!
It usually takes me 2-3 weeks to edit the images. You will receive 30 images from your session that you get to choose during a zoom call. Some moms prefer to skip the zoom call and to rely on my choice of best captures and I am fine with that as well :).
As far as the locations go, some moms like to have the session done in their backyard, some like local parks. We can discuss what will work best for you and for your children during our consultation!
I am looking forward to working with you! Feel welcome to shoot me a message if you have questions.
