This motherhood session took place in my Northeast Minneapolis studio and felt grounded from the moment they walked in. One mama, two kids, and space to breathe. No noise, no distractions just time carved out to be together and see each other clearly.
And yep, those images? They reflect exactly that.
Hair and makeup were beautifully done by Lisa Christine Artistry, and it made all the difference. Not in a “glammed up” kind of way but in that soft, polished, “she looks exactly like herself” way that sets the tone for the entire session.
Wardrobe was all pulled from my studio collection: a long lace dress for mom that photographed like a dream, and a mix of floral and neutral textures for the kids. Everything worked together effortlessly because that’s the goal. No Pinterest-stress here, just thoughtful styling and a calm, consistent aesthetic.
The kids had freedom to move (and they did), and mom let herself be part of it all. From quiet cuddles to full-body giggles, the session followed their lead and the result is a gallery that feels like them.
These are the kinds of sessions I want to keep creating: ones that reflect what motherhood feels like, not just what it looks like.
This gallery doesn’t chase perfection. It captures presence. There’s beauty in how she held her son close, how her daughter wrapped herself around her. There’s beauty in the stillness and the spin.
If you're a mom who wants photos that reflect something real this is what that can look like.
A: Hair and makeup are not included in your session, but I’ll send you a list of trusted artists I recommend. Lisa Christine Artistry is one of my favorites. She creates polished, natural looks that photograph beautifully without ever feeling overdone.
A: Absolutely. I offer a curated collection of dresses for moms and soft, timeless pieces for little ones. You can wear your own clothes too we’ll style it together to make sure everything flows visually.
A: As many as you’ve got! These sessions are built around connection, and that includes sibling dynamics. Whether it’s one-on-one or wild and full of motion, we’ll document it all in a way that feels honest.
