rocking your photoshoot like a mother. happy mothers’ day to all the beautiful mamas i’ve had the pleasure of photographing

I’m so grateful to all the amazing mamas who have asked me to photograph their families. You totally rocked it. You didn’t sit and give a tepid smile to the camera, you embraced your kiddos with your whole heart, you laughed at my bad jokes and laughed even harder at your husbands’ bad jokes. You played with your kids, dried their tears, let them run wild for a night and have that extra ice cream cone and go to bed a little late. I hope your children will cherish these photos forever. That these won't just be the photos that they look back on and say, "wow mom was really beautiful" They will be the photos that they look back on and say, "Wow mom really loved me so much" or "Remember how much fun we had with mom?" and really, isn't that what it's all about? because one day they will be sulky teenagers and will probably tell you that you are the worst mom in the world for not letting them sleep over at their boyfriend's college dorm (definitely not a personal example) and you can quietly slip this photo under their door as a reminder of how much you love them.  Thank you again and I hope your kids spoil you this Mother's day!
