Hey mamas!

Welcome to our Mommy and Me prep guide!


If you're anything like me, you're usually the one behind the camera—capturing your children's giggles, their milestones, and those sweet moments with your partner. But when you scroll through your camera roll… where are you?


It's time to change that.


Let’s make it a priority to document your presence in these memories—the love, the connection, the bond you share with your little ones—through meaningful, professional photos.


As a fellow mama of two young children, I know firsthand the joys and challenges of motherhood. That’s why I’m passionate about helping you turn everyday moments into lasting memories you can cherish for a lifetime.


Here are a few helpful tips to get started:


What To Wear In The Spring


Spring brings with it a palette of soft, pastel colors that perfectly complement the season's essence. For your Mommy and Me session, consider outfits in shades like light pink, blue, lavender, mint green, and peach. Flowy dresses, floral patterns, light cardigans, and coordinated ensembles add a touch of whimsy and elegance to your photos. Avoid overly busy patterns or bright colors that may distract from the natural beauty of spring.

  • Positive Talk: Excite your children about the photo session, emphasizing the fun they'll have with Mommy.
  • Timing: Choose a time when your children are well-rested and in good spirits for the session.

Photographer's Approach


As your photographer, my approach is centered on creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for you and your children. Here's how I'll ensure a stress-free experience:


  • Natural Interactions: Encouraging natural poses and interactions to capture genuine moments between you and your children.
  • Engagement: Interacting with your children in a friendly manner to capture their authentic expressions and emotions.
  • Patience: Understanding that children may need breaks or time to adjust, ensuring a comfortable pace throughout the session.
  • Fun and Play: Incorporating fun prompts and games to keep your children engaged and eliciting genuine smiles and laughter.



By following these tips and working together, we'll create timeless Mommy and Me photos filled with love, joy, and the beautiful essence of spring.
