Mother’s Day Mini Sessions – 2023

Posted in Uncategorized

This is a mini session offering to photograph the love and connection between mom and kids. The session takes about 30 minutes.

After the session you’ll be able to select your favorite 15 digital images for me to edit and deliver to you within a week. The cost is $400.

The session is for mom and up to 3 kids only. If you have more than 3 kids, it’s $20 per additional kid.

$50 is required to book, and the remaining fee ($350) is due on the day of the session.

You can check out the available dates and times here.

I’m looking forward to photographing the special bond between you and your kids/babies!

Some photoshoots feel more like a beach day than work, and this was definitely one of them. ☀️🌊

Watching these little ones run barefoot in the sand and simply enjoy being kids was a reminder that the best images come from genuine moments.

And can we talk about these outfits? The beautiful prints, thoughtful designs, and incredible quality from @shopfourseeds photographed so effortlessly in the golden light. Every piece was not only adorable but made for movement, play, and making memories.

A perfect evening filled with sunshine, salty air, happy kids, and a brand that celebrates childhood so beautifully. ✨

12 years ago, I picked up a camera and hoped for the best. 🤍

I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew that freezing a moment in time — a laugh, a look, a hand being held — felt like the most important thing in the world.

And somehow, twelve years later, it still does ❤️

To every mama who let me photograph her newborn at 7am. To every dad who said “I hate photos” and then cried when he saw them. To every grandma, every toddler, every family who trusted me with the moments that matter most — thank you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you 🙏🏻❤️

This little business has changed my life. And I hope, in some small way, it’s changed yours too. 🥹

Here’s to year 13. I can’t wait to meet the families I haven’t photographed yet.

A typical week in my studio…
One shy smile
One toddler on the run
One baby deciding it’s nap time 🥰
… lots of moments with the little ones 💕✨

Every session moves at its own pace—pauses, resets, and all the in-between moments you don’t see.

And somehow… it all comes together into the sweetest memories ✨
