Mommie and me Photoshoot

Why a Mommie and Me Photoshoot is so important

Generations–

I had the honor of capturing FOUR generations of beautiful strong women and the experience was very special. Moments like this remind me of my beloved grandmother Rosalie, who lived to be 62. After Her passing I lost the opportunity to capture beautiful heirloom portraits of the three generations before me. I always say that photography is evidence we exist in this world. Photographs will outlive us. Yet, how often do you see mom in front of the camera; let alone grandmother or great-grandmother? My guess is not often. There are likely years where the women you love have gone unrecorded. A mom’s highest value is her family, yet she’s not photographed with them very often enough. Lets take time this Mothers Day to give mom the opportunity to record her beautiful legacy and to keep her legacy alive forever.

It’s time to EXIST in Photos Mom!

You take millions of photos of your children, but how will they remember you? I know it can be scary to get in front of the camera, and you probably think you aren’t photogenic. That’s exactly why I created a magazine-style photoshoot experience to take care of all the details for you. It’s not your job to be photogenic, it’s my job to prepare you, pose you, and guide you into flattering positions so I can capture the best version of you. Treat yourself to a fully guided photoshoot (with professional hair and makeup available as an add-on), and create a legacy wall of portraits that will be passed down through generations.

Mother and Daughter

A Mothers most Cherish possession are her families photos. A mother truly symbolizes LOVE, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for those she holds close to her heart. A mother’s highest value is her family, they are without a doubt her greatest joy! In my family I am the memory keeper. I hold a cedar chest that sits camouflaged as a coffee table, but the contents of this chest are invaluable. Portraits from generations past, wedding photos, baptisms, & birthdays. These photos remind me where I came from, remind me of who I am and help me to preserve my family legacy.

How Much Does it Cost

Your date is reserved with a $200 retainer fee. Digital image collections start at $650, with beautiful print and wall art options available. We’ll walk through everything during your consultation so you can choose what works best for you.

Not just for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a beautiful reason to book, but it’s not the only one. Birthdays, a new baby, a milestone year, Grandma visiting from out of town, or simply “we’ve never had one” are all perfect reasons. The best time to exist in photos is now.

Who to bring

Mom and her kids, Mom and her mom, or every generation you can fit in the studio. Some of my most treasured sessions have been three and four generations of women side by side. If you’re wondering whether to include someone, include them. You’ll never regret having them in the picture.

What to wear

Coordinate, don’t match. Pick a palette of two or three colors that look good together instead of identical outfits.
Choose soft, solid fabrics. Skip big logos and busy prints that pull attention from faces.
Dress Mom first. Build everyone else’s outfits around what makes her feel her best.
We’ll go over wardrobe together during your design consultation, so you’re never guessing.

Tips for little ones

Schedule around naps, bring a favorite snack (no colorful candy right before photos), and let me handle the rest. Real giggles and snuggles make better portraits than perfect poses.

From the studio to your walls

These portraits are meant to be seen and passed down. At your reveal we’ll help you choose prints and wall art that will hang in your home now and sit in someone’s cedar chest one day.
