A Mommy and Me Session in the Boston Public Garden

Meet Jack. The smiliest, most adorable little boy who I had the pleasure of photographing in the Boston Public Garden this spring with his mama. This sweet 4 year old is constantly on the go, and we spent a playful hour together filled with giggles, laughs, and bubbles for an extra special Mommy & Me portrait session.

Boston is such a beautiful city in the early spring, and tulip season is always breathtaking. The misty weather didn’t dampen our spirits, and Jack and his mama layered on their rain gear and enjoyed splashing in the puddles in the garden.

Celebrating Motherhood Event | Organic Mother & Baby Sessions

We believe that moms are beautiful.

We believe that motherhood is the most difficult but rewarding job in the world, and that the love you share with your babies is so incredibly breathtaking.  We believe that you deserve to be pampered, you deserve to feel gorgeous, and you deserve to have stunning memories captured on camera with your little ones.

This is what is at the heart of our Celebrating Motherhood photo sessions.  The idea that moms are incredible women who have embarked on such a beautiful journey with their little ones.  The idea that the laughs, cuddles, hugs, and kisses are all moments that deserve to be remembered.  The idea that motherhood deserves to be CELEBRATED.

But you know what I hear all the time as a photographer that makes me so sad?  Moms that tell me they only want photos of their kids, they don't want to be in the pictures, and -- the worst one of all -- that they "hate" themselves in photographs.

Alright moms, listen up:  YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, SMART & AMAZING.  Sure, the spit up on your shoulder may be the latest accessory, you're still trying to lose the baby weight, and a messy bun and yoga pants are how you get "dolled up" on a Friday night.   But you know what?  You're still beautiful.  You are Wonder Woman.  You are raising these tiny humans filled with compassion & love, and you are doing a spectacular job.

And THAT is why we created the Celebrating Motherhood photo sessions.  Eighteen mothers enjoyed a day out to relax, be pampered, sip on champagne, and have a little down-time while babysitters took care of their children.  Then we took gorgeous photos of the moms looking and feeling glamorous with their babies.

Years from now, your children will be able to look back at these photos and they will know how much they were loved, how much they were cuddled, and how their mom realized their bond was so special that she captured it in photographs and preserved it forever.  They'll look back and see you for the Wonder Woman that you truly are.  Enjoy!
