Toledo Studio Photo Sessions – Motherhood Moments

One thing I’ve dreamed of for years now is a dedicated indoor space. I want to be able to create beautiful images year-round. Plus I knew having my own space would allow me so much creative freedom.

Photography Mentor Toledo Ohio – Before & After

I took advantage of the big blank wall and placed the bassinet against it. I didn’t like the brown/red undertone of the paint so I decided to change that!

“her tree”...⁠
⁠
She claimed this spot in the backyard and I love how special it is to her.⁠
⁠
Now every spring, when it blooms, I ask her to lay under it.⁠
⁠
It’s become our 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯… ⁠
one that feels the same and ⁠
𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 all at once.⁠
⁠
When I look back at those photos, it gets me every time. ⁠
⁠
The 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴. ⁠
The way she’s grown into herself. ⁠
The little pieces that are still so 𝘩𝘦𝘳.⁠
⁠
Time doesn’t slow down, but this gives me something to come back to… ⁠a way to see her 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸, ⁠
all at once. ⁠♥️

𝗔 𝗺𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 about newborn sessions…⁠
⁠
You don’t actually 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 your baby to be perfectly asleep for beautiful photos.⁠
⁠
Some of my (and parents) 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 moments happen when they’re wide awake.⁠
⁠
Those little eyes looking up at you… ⁠
or catching the canerafor just a second…⁠
⁠
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧.⁠
⁠
It feels real and connected and a little bit magical in that “everything is still so new” ⁠
kind of way.⁠
⁠
So whether your baby is⁠
sleepy and snuggled in,⁠
stretching those tiny arms,⁠
or wide-eyed and taking it all in…⁠
⁠
I’m there for all of it.⁠
⁠
And I promise, it’s 𝙖𝙡𝙡 worth remembering.⁠
⁠

⁠Every 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 reminds me ⁠
why 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 with photography ⁠
in the first place. ⁠
⁠
The way kids grow, ⁠
the way families settle into each other, ⁠
the little moments that happen when no one is trying too hard. ⁠
⁠
I’m so incredibly grateful for 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 to invite me to capture the ⁠
different seasons of your family story. ⁠
⁠
If this feels like the season you want to hold onto, ⁠

I see beauty in everyone else so easily…⁠
𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.⁠
⁠
I did not want to step in front of the camera for new headshots.⁠
⁠
Not because I didn’t want the photos…⁠
𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.⁠
⁠
It’s funny, isn’t it?⁠
⁠
I spend my days showing moms how beautiful they are,⁠
how much their kids adore them,⁠
how natural and connected they look…⁠
⁠
…and then it’s my turn, and 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜’𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.⁠
⁠
I overthink what to wear.⁠
I know I’ll feel awkward.⁠
I question if I’ll even recognize myself (𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝟦𝟢𝘴!)⁠
⁠
If you’ve been putting this off because of those same thoughts…⁠
⁠
𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂.⁠
𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶 in those moments.⁠
⁠
But here’s the thing that always surprises me...⁠
⁠
when you’re with the right photographer, 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀.⁠
⁠
You’re not standing there wondering what to do with your hands.⁠
You’re not stuck in your head picking yourself apart.⁠
⁠
𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.⁠
⁠
Your child reaches for you without thinking.⁠
You laugh at something small and unexpected.⁠
You tuck their hair behind their ear like you always do.⁠
⁠
And somewhere in the middle of all that…⁠
𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀.⁠
⁠
That’s the 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨.⁠
⁠
And 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴.⁠
⁠
That’s what your kids will see one day.⁠
Not the things you worried about.⁠
⁠
𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶.⁠
The way you held them close.⁠
The way you looked at them.⁠
The way it always felt to be yours.⁠
⁠
So if you’re waiting until you feel more confident,⁠
more put together,⁠
more like yourself again…⁠
⁠
this is your reminder that you don’t have to.⁠
⁠
𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹.⁠
⁠
And that version of you⁠
is the 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨.⁠
⁠
⁠

I think it’s okay to admit that motherhood is overwhelming⁠ and photos sometimes feel like “one more thing.”⁠
⁠
One more thing to plan.⁠
One more thing to coordinate.⁠
One more thing to show up for when you already feel stretched thin.⁠
⁠
But what I’ve seen, over and over again,⁠
is that this ends up being the thing you’re most grateful you didn’t put off.⁠
⁠
Because it’s less than an hour.⁠
Less than an hour of slowing down,⁠
pulling your people in close,⁠
and just being with them.⁠
⁠
And somehow… that small window⁠
turns into so much.⁠
⁠
The way they reach for your hand.⁠
The way they melt into you.⁠
The way you laugh together without even thinking about it.⁠
⁠
Moments you didn’t have to force.⁠
Moments you didn’t have to plan.⁠
⁠
Just moments you got to be in.⁠
And that’s what lasts. ⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠
If this is something you’ve been craving with your family, comment “together” and I’ll send you the details.⁠
⁠
⁠
