embrace the changes your body is making my creating life.

At Finch & Mae Photography, I truly believe that a woman’s body is incredible no matter the stage.

This maternity session was fun, beautiful and to be honest picture perfect. This beautiful mama had brought two of her own outfits but was also completely open to trying a new two piece outfit that had just arrived in the Client Wardrobe.

Nicole chose a beautiful county park in Dane County to have her session at. We ventured around the park visiting the lake, fields and the boardwalk.

Many mamas that book sessions with Finch & Mae Photography love using the Client Wardrobe that is filled with dresses, skirts and tops.

What is the purpose of the Client Wardrobe?

1. Adds cohesive style to your session and gallery.
2. Avoids the need to shop for your session- you will most likely only wear the outfit once.

The Client Wardrobe ranges from 0-3 months through toddler age, a few school age child sizes and mamas ranging from xs through 4xl.

Andrea and Tatum joined me in the Pardeeville studio location for a motherhood session. Let me tell you, it was incredibly fun!

Andrea and Tatum’s wardrobe was selected from the studio client wardrobe. The pieces are timeless, classic and honestly minimalistic in the best way.

The session started off with portraits of Tatum by herself, showcasing her incredible personality. We chatted about movies, what she likes to do at home for fun and about her days at school.

When Andrea joined in, they danced, laughed, snuggled and enjoyed their time together to the fullest extent.

The main purpose of motherhood sessions is to capture those emotive and beautiful moments between a child and their mother.

Let’s be realistic, motherhood is tough, sometimes brutal but it is the most rewarding job there could ever be.

A few questions that I get asked:

Do you provide wardrobe?

-I do. The studio offers a variety of wardrobe for mamas and children to both wear depending on the size.

Can you help me find places to shop for my session?

-Absolutely. I also have a blog related to this with links to stores. It is incredibly helpful.

Is there an age limit?

-Nope. Motherhood doesn’t have an age and neither do the ranges for kiddos to be. I don’t ever want mamas to feel that their baby is to old or young for a session.

Welcome to the Pardeeville Studio!

I am thrilled to have opened a second studio for Finch & Mae. This studio is entirely different than the Rio location but it is still just as wonderful and a whole lot of fun.

The Pardeeville Studio location offers beautiful “natural light”, intimate moments and a more hands on approach for newborn sessions. Newborn sessions are focused more on the intimate and raw emotions of having a newborn. We don’t focus on if your baby sleeps, neutral and earth tone colors with minimal prop usage like you may see coming from the Rio studio.

Milestone sessions are still just as fun with a little more of a home like feeling added in. Typically milestone sessions are with a solid backdrop but I am so excited to add in such a timeless and neutral toned aesthetic.

Family and Motherhood Sessions are going to be absolutely perfect. The studio is the best size for these sweet sessions and to be honest, the lighting is incredible.

Your sweet baby will grow so quickly, I promise you will want to remember every little detail about them.

Documenting that sweet baby that you waited so long for is truly so amazing. The excitement of a newborn does not just stop with the newborn phase but it continues every single day as your baby learns new things.

The core memories of being a parent are things like the first smile, the first giggle, crawling, cruising furniture, first steps and beyond. The excitement does not leave.

I will be honest, I love documenting babies throughout their first year. I love seeing so many amazing personalities, hearing the giggles, watching them clap and roll over. It brings me back to when my three children were that age. The overwhelming fun that a baby in the first year can be. Hearing parents stories and watching their faces light up as they tell me about all their baby can do.

It is damn magical!
