Family (chosen or biological) is invaluable and is a huge part of why I value photography. I started out photographing friends back in 2013 and my business grew from word of mouth. I love capturing real moments and developing lasting relationships with my clients. My wish is that years from now you will share photos from our session with your grandkids. My hope is that a session with me will be a fun family memory. I lost my mom in 2015 and I value the photos I have with her beyond measure. Often one parent (usually mom) tends to take most of the family photos so portraits that include everyone are so important. So, as uncomfortable as you may feel, as unhappy as you are with your post-baby body or your hair- please get in the photo! Years from now your kids won't see the imperfections- all they will see is the parent they love so much.
