“Why You’ll Never Regret Taking the Photos – A Letter to Busy Moms”

To the mom who’s always behind the camera instead of in front of it… I see you.

I see the way you capture every little smile, every milestone, every silly moment. You’re the keeper of memories, the one making sure your family’s story is remembered — but somehow, you’re rarely in the photos yourself.

I get it. Life is so busy. Between snacks and school drop-offs, work and errands, you barely have time to breathe, let alone plan a family photo session. Maybe you’ve told yourself:

“I need to lose a few pounds first.”
“The kids are too wild — they’ll never sit still.”
“Maybe next season… when things calm down.”

Here is what I’ve learned after years of photographing families — especially mamas like you:

You will never regret taking the photos, but you might regret waiting too long.

Your babies are growing by the minute. Their toothless grins, the way they snuggle into your arms, how they reach for your hand without thinking — these are the moments that won’t last forever. One day, these pictures will be the windows into their childhood, and you deserve to be in them too.

You deserve to be remembered with them — not just behind the lens, but in the story.

I promise you, you don’t need to be “ready.” You don’t need the perfect outfit or the perfect weather or the perfect version of your family. You just need to show up, be present, and let me take care of the rest.

Some of my favorite sessions are the beautifully messy ones — where a toddler runs wild, someone giggles mid-snuggle, and we capture real life as it is. That’s where the magic is.

This is your reminder: you are enough, right now, just as you are.

Let’s freeze a little piece of this season for you — whether it's a quiet moment with your newborn, laughter with your wild crew, or a family hug at sunset.

Whenever you're ready, I’m here for you.
