Vicky is another mom that came back this year after being part of my event last year. Seeing her boys this year connect with her was absolutely amazing. We were outside last year, it was warm, they had a later session + dad was there and they just wanted dad and I truthfully felt so bad because for a motherhood session, I had ZERO images of just her and her babies. And it was one of the reasons I was very firm on my no dads policy this year. THIS is why! THIS was the reason. I wanted all my moms to actually feel the love from their babies and capture it.

And I am not saying I do not love family sessions or that dad’s shouldnt be included in your family session, however, I think the bond between a mother + her kiddos should be celebrated. We focus on work, sending the kids to school, getting them into travel sports teams, but this ONE session every year, gives you a chance to just slow down, look at your kiddos + love on them. And that is why I do these every year.
