The Beauty of Being in the Frame: Why Motherhood Photography Matters
As mothers, we are typically the memory keepers. We are the ones snapping photos of all the firsts, the snuggles while you’re nap-trapped, the joyful giggles in the backyard. We fill our phone camera rolls with the little details of our children’s lives—their sleepy faces, their messy curls, their contagious laughter. But when we look back at these images, one thing is often missing: us.
Moms, You Deserve to Be in the Frame
It’s a story I hear over and over again from the mothers I photograph:
"I have thousands of pictures of my kids, but barely any with me in them."
"I don’t love how I look in photos."
"I keep meaning to book a session, but life gets so busy."
And yet, when we look back years from now, our children won’t care about perfect hair or outfits. They won’t see the things we criticize about ourselves. What they will see is you—the way you held them close, the way you smiled at them with pure love, the way you were there, present in their memories. And your future self likely won’t care about those things either; she’ll just be thankful she has beautiful memories to look back on.
Are You Always Behind the Camera?
Moms are often the ones capturing memories—snapping photos of their children, their partner with the kids, and all the special milestones. But when you scroll through your camera roll, how many photos actually include you? Too often, moms are the unseen storytellers, left out of the very moments they cherish most.
Motherhood photography ensures that you are part of the story, not just the one documenting it. One day, your children will want to look back and see you—the way you laughed with them, held them, and loved them unconditionally. These images aren’t just for today; they’re for them, for the future.
Motherhood Photography is More Than Just a Photoshoot
Motherhood photography isn’t about staged poses or forced smiles. It’s about capturing the real, raw, and beautiful moments of this season in life. Whether it’s a maternity session celebrating the anticipation of new life, a newborn session preserving those fleeting early days, or a "mommy and me" session filled with snuggles and laughter, each photograph becomes a love letter to your child—a tangible reminder of the bond you share.
These Moments Are Fleeting—Don’t Wait to Capture Them
Motherhood is full of tiny, seemingly ordinary moments that slip through our fingers before we even realize they’re gone. The way your baby curls into you. The way your toddler’s little hands reach for yours. The way your older child still leans into you for comfort, even if just for a second.
These moments won’t last forever, but they can be remembered. A photograph has the power to freeze time, allowing you to relive these fleeting days again and again.
