I used to think I had to be everything to everyone.
Then life humbled me real quick. Jobs replace you. Friends drift. Plans change.

But at home?
I’m the person they look for in the dark.
I’m the voice that calms the chaos.
I’m the “mom” that can’t be swapped out.

If you’ve been feeling invisible everywhere else, let this be your reminder: you’re not “just” anything. You’re the whole foundation. 🖤

Tell me… where do you feel the most replaceable lately?

There are periods of my life that are missing...moments that I’ll never get back or get to re-live, simply because I refused to just let them take the dang picture.

I know so many of you ​know ​what I’m talking about! Maybe you too are having flashbacks of holding your newborn on the couch, no makeup, feeling ​so rough​ and then someone tries to stick a camera in your face...​and we all know how that ends.

I could just cry thinking of all the nights I rocked my son in the rocker, all the bubble bath beards I made, all the mud pies out in the yard, the piggy back rides, the sunset bike rides with my kids...and when he looks at those pictures one day, they will have no idea I was there, too.

I want you to have a way to remember ​this​ time in your life...no matter how insignificant it seems. I want you to have images of your laugh, your gaze, the way your hair falls in your face, and that freckle on your nose.

⭐️you are worth remembering.

Today is the last day I get to nurse baby boy before starting my medicine. Ofcourse I’ll be photographing it and there will be lots of tears. 😭

Something my dad said to me over the phone as I cried to him is something I won’t ever forget. He said that I need to look at this battle different. My breastfeeding journey is not being merely stolen or taken away from me, but I got 5 whole months to experience nursing, sustaining and bonding with my baby boy when many mamas have been unable too. I need to be thankful for that. ❤️😭

✨Motherhood Model Call✨
Hey mamas, I am looking to fill what’s left on calendar for 2024!

These motherhood sessions are near and dear to my heart and are a huge creative outlet for me beyond my main bo***ir business.

These sessions are where you will be inviting me into your world as a mama and family and letting me capture the most intimate and vulnerable parts of you. So there are no rules! But I still have a vision…

My vision is to capture breastfeeding or bottle feeding, postpartum tummies, newborn beginnings, and pregnant mamas, moms with older kids even! It’s about relationships, vulnerability not perfection. No fancy dresses or hair and makeup. Come as you are.

Here’s how to apply. Simply DM me on my business page only and start the convo. I only have about 5-6 extra dates this year. E’lisa Mitchell Photography
