Every Mama should have at least one beautiful photo of themselves and their babies hanging in their home.  I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

We had family photos taken on a beach trip a couple years ago and I have one of myself with my two boys on the beach.  I treasure that photo.  We have it as a large canvas displayed in our home and it is a reminder to me how important it is that all Mama’s should get-in-the-photo.  My boys love that photo – even more than I do in some ways.  I find them looking at it and telling me how pretty I am.  They don’t notice the imperfections that I do – they could care less about those little things – what matters to them is that they see a photo of their Mama laughing with her boys and they think it is beautiful.

I loved capturing this session for this gorgeous Mama and her sweet (and oh so shy!) baby girl.  Julie is a Mama of three and a wonderful photographer herself – and we photographer Mamas often have a tough time getting in the photos!  And as number three in the family, Little L was more than happy to have her sweet Mama all to her herself for the morning!

More to come?

I hope to offer more Mommy and Me sessions this year ~ they are a special time for a Mama to capture these fleeting moments with her little ones.  But not just photos of her little ones, photos of them together!  We had such a wonderful time last week.  Thank you Julie, for trusting me to be the one on the “other side” of the camera for a change 🙂

Thank you Woodsy Wonders for this darling little ladder ~ I absolutely adore using it with my little people!!

Sweet baby girl found this hat in my studio ~ it was way too small for her ~ but once she found it she was only happy if she got to wear it.  Good thing she looked so cute!!  Looks like it is time for me to invest in some bigger hats for the studio 😉
