“No bells or whistles, for motherhood sings a powerful song all on her own.”

(To my Mom and Mother-in-law, this new collective is dedicated to the both of you. Thank you for always showing us what it looks like to be an extraordinary mother)

I love maternity portraits that aren’t only focused on the expecting belly. Motherhood is breathtaking from the very beginning. I love that when the couple is old and gray, and their grandchildren see this picture, they can share a smile and know that it was taken when she was expecting their first.

I am beyond thrilled to be working with some beautiful expecting mothers this Spring 2015! The connection between a mother and her unborn child is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. And then once they are born? Oh my. There is nothing like it in the whole wide world. It is such an honor to be invited into such a special time.

And so, with all of this, I am so thrilled to introduce to you ‘The Motherhood Collective.’ The idea behind this package, is giving new mothers an opportunity to have an exquisite portrait experience not just for maternity or newborn, but into the toddler stage as well without having to choose one or the other. Clients choose two sessions from maternity, newborn, and 6 months.

I really could not be more excited about these changes and all the incredible families I will be working with soon! If you would like further details on booking this session collective, be sure to contact me.
