Motherhood is made up of the quiet in between moments – the way your baby reaches for you, the softness of their cheek against your skin, the familiar rhythm of being their safe space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the moments that deserve to be remembered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a mama of three, I take the job of photographing motherhood to a next level. I know truly just how fast the time goes and I don’t want any mama to miss out on this. To be honest, I hear from moms all the time that they are going to wait until they lose weight, they have their hair colored, they have time and so on. I have heard every “excuse” as to why they won’t be in the pictures – and it makes me so sad. As a mother, you are beautiful as is, I can promise you that. If we all waited until we lost the weight, had our hair done and so on… we would never be in the photos. These are the moments that you cannot get back. Your baby will grown into toddlerhood and then a child and soon a teenager. I always ask mamas, “In 30 years from now, will you regret not having the photos? Will the weight or the hair really seem like a big deal?” And the answer is always NO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the studio at Finch & Mae Photography, motherhood sessions are designed to be simple, organic, and completely connection – focused so that nothing distracts from what matters most. What matters most is you and your baby or even your children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Timeless Studio Motherhood Session <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a clean, bright space and a neutral wardrobe that is curated for comfort and movement, every single detail is chosen to create timeless and beautiful imagery that feels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-soft <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-emotive <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-natural <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-enduring<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No props. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No pressure to perform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just the honest beauty and connection of your bond together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way your little looks at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way you instinctively hold them close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural way that motherhood feels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Mothers Deserve To Be In The Frame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So often, moms are the one taking the pictures. They are the ones documenting the milestones but not being in the photos for the memories. Many times, husbands take photos of us as a mother and I know that they are not always the most flattering or beautiful. The amount of photos that my sweet husband has taken is wonderful but they are not always perfect, they aren’t always what I would have hoped for. I have seen ones where I am mid sentence, I am eating, looking frumpy and a downright mess. Yes, this is motherhood but I always think back to how I want to truly look beautiful with my children and not need to worry about the end result of a picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sessions are an invitation to step into the frame with your little humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To exist in your child’s story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create photographs that one day your baby will hold in their hands and say “That’s how she loved me”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
