Motherhood Minis
Thirty minutes. The images you'll keep forever.
These sessions are for you if:
- You want natural, unposed moments (with some guidance)
- You value emotion over perfection
- You want images that feel like your real life
- You've been meaning to document this season
The days are long and the years are short — you've heard it, and you know it's true. I created these minis as a way to stop time for thirty minutes and let someone document what this season actually looks like. Not for anyone else. For you, and for them, someday.
And if you're looking for a Mother's Day gift that isn't a candle — this is it. Book a session for yourself and your kids, for the expectant mama, or give one as a gift to any mother in your life: new moms, grandmothers, the ones who never slow down long enough to be photographed. Give them thirty minutes and images they'll have forever.
Mother's Day is closer than it feels.
What a Motherhood Mini Looks Like
Thirty minutes goes faster than you'd think. We'll find a spot with good light — fields, trails, the kind of place that feels a little cinematic — and I'll photograph you the way I photograph everything: quietly, and close enough to catch the real thing.
These sessions are centered around motherhood and children of all ages — newborns, toddlers, the ones who are somehow already in middle school. Partners are welcome to join too. Bring whoever makes this season feel like yours. You'll leave with 25 images that look nothing like a session and everything like a memory.
Where We Shoot
Each location was chosen for its light, its feeling, and the way it photographs. Both are beautiful. Both are yours to choose from.
Cherry Valley
An open field and towering oaks that feel like they've been there forever. This spot is especially beautiful in the morning, when the light is soft and diffused, birds are chirping, and the breeze is blowing.
Redlands
Blooming bougainvillea, wildflowers in full color, and tree-lined pathways that feel like something out of another era. Everything is in bloom and the light is beautiful both morning and evening.
