She wasnโt sure she needed maternity photos. After all, sheโd done this beforeโpregnancy, birth, the newborn phase. But this time was different.
Time has a way of softening memories. The way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the tiny fingers curled around yours, the sleepy stretchesโthese moments fade faster than you expect. But a newborn session preserves them forever, giving you something to hold onto when those days are long gone.
Have you ever found yourself so busy taking care of everyone else that you forget to capture your familyโs moments together? I get it. As a photographer, youโd think my kids would have endless albums of perfectly posed pictures. The truth? Itโs been a challenge. Between juggling the demands of motherhood and feeling less-than-camera-ready, itโs easy to let the days slip by without stepping in front of the camera.
Spring in Toledo can be pretty magical. The air feels fresh, the flowers start popping up everywhere, and the whole city just seems to come alive again. If youโve been thinking about getting family photos, spring is theย perfectย time to do it. Trust me, you wonโt regret it.
As a mom and photographer, my heart is deeply connected to the work I do with The Gold Hope Project. Itโs not just about taking photos; itโs about offering families something they can hold on to, especially during times when life feels incredibly fragile. Recently, I had the honor of photographing a beautiful two-year-old fighter named Oakleigh. Her sweet smile, her spirit, and even her dog joining the session made it an experience Iโll never forget.
