I’ve noticed that expectant mamas are really good at taking care of everyone and everything around them — the nursery, the older kids, the hospital bag, the freezer meals — and really not great at doing something just for themselves. And I get it, because there is so much to think about and prepare for, and carving out time and space for something that feels purely celebratory can start to feel like the last thing on the list.
Let me just say this upfront: if you have little kids and you’ve been putting off family photos because you’re convinced your toddler will refuse to cooperate — I photograph little kids all the time, and the “uncooperative” ones almost always give me my favorite shots of the whole session.
We live in a world where most of our photos exist on a phone — tucked away in a camera roll that we scroll through occasionally and rarely return to in any meaningful way. And while I love that we’re all documenting our lives more than ever, there is something so different about a printed image. Something that hangs on your wall or sits on your shelf and quietly reminds you, every single day, of a moment that mattered.
