Because you deserve it.

Mommy and me / Daddy and me sessions are always available.

These 'mini sessions' take place at a location of your choice, are maximum of 45 minutes long and is a session for just you and your babes. For these sessions, I do a couple posed shots, but I like to focus more on candid moments and your final gallery will be filled with images of you doing what you do best: mom-ing it; or dad-ing.. both are equally important!

Parenthood...


Sometimes it happens just as you anticipated, but let's face it - in most cases, it happens quite differently than how we envisioned it. When I became a mother at 20 to my oldest son, I was at an all time low. My son's father and I had hit rock bottom. Postpartum depression, anxiety, consultations with attorneys, the nasty divorce, the night-shift jobs... it all took away from my journey of motherhood. And it was hard.

But reality is, all those hardships lead to my confidence in God, eventually lead me to my now husband, our home, stability, genuine love. I could go on and on. The one thing I do look back on and realize is I wish more of those moments stood still. Those moments where it was just ME & MY SON. The times I would look at him and knew I wanted to give him better, more... I would never give up on him. But I really do wish I had more moments of just us captured and framed to remember the hardships we overcame together, the growth we both went through, the bond that was built on motivation and the resilience I had to embrace. I am a strong woman whose purpose is to be a mom. I wish I knew that back then and I hope you know that now. You deserve the photos to remember all of it - the good, the bad, the ugly, but most importantly... the love. You are enough.
