Why Every Mom Deserves a Motherhood Photo Session (Even If She’s the One Always Taking the Photos)
You know what I’ve got a ton of as a mom?
Photos of my husband with our kids.
He’s laughing with them, playing with them, reading books, tossing them in the air. Sweet. Adorable. Frame-worthy.
You know what I don’t have a ton of?
Photos of me with our kids—unless I asked for it… and then immediately reviewed it… and then repositioned everyone because the angle was questionable and the focus was, well, missing.
I’m a Marietta photographer who has photographed hundreds of moms and their babies over the past 15 years—and let me tell you something: this is one of the most common things I hear from moms.
We’re the memory keepers.
The photo-takers.
The ones with the iPhone camera roll full of everyone else’s moments.
But somewhere along the way… we disappeared from our own story.
Why Motherhood Sessions Matter
As a longtime Marietta maternity photographer and mom of three, I’ve seen it firsthand:
The magic that happens when a mom finally steps in front of the camera with her babies—not for a holiday card, not for Instagram—but for her.
These sessions are special because they freeze a version of your life you’ll want to hold onto forever:
-
The way your toddler wraps their arms around your neck
-
The way your teenager still rests their head on your shoulder
-
The way your baby’s hand fits perfectly in yours
And if you’re anything like me, you probably haven’t had a good photo of that in a while—because let’s be honest, your husband isn’t going to get the angle quite right (bless him for trying).
The Truth About Time
You won’t always carry them on your hip.
You won’t always read “just one more book” at bedtime.
You won’t always be their whole world.
And while you’ll always remember the way they made you feel, sometimes you need a visual to take you back to it.
That’s what a motherhood photo session gives you.
It’s more than a gallery—it’s a love letter to this version of you and them.
What Happens in a Motherhood Session?
Whether we’re shooting at a local field in Marietta or in the comfort of your home, here’s what you can expect:
-
No stiff posing
-
No matching outfits required but if you need styling; I got you mama!
-
No need to “look perfect” (seriously, you already do)
-
Just 20–30 minutes of you loving on your babies while I capture the in-between
I’ll guide you every step of the way and make sure you walk away with images that make you feel something. Because that’s the difference between a snapshot and a photograph that lasts.
Let’s Capture Your Motherhood Story
As a Marietta photographer, I offer motherhood sessions year-round—because I believe every mom deserves to be seen, remembered, and celebrated.
If you’ve ever looked at your camera roll and realized you’re not in it…
If you’ve ever felt the ache of how fast they’re growing…
If you’ve ever wished someone could capture the way they look at you…
This is your sign.
Let’s give your future self the gift of remembering.
