Mommy and Me Mini Photography Sessions!

Wonderland Lake, Boulder, Colorado

I was thinking that the best kind of mini session to do this spring would be a mommy and me session. At almost every family session I hear from the mom “I just want to make sure to get one good photo of my baby and I-I am ALWAYS the one behind the camera.” And this is so true. How many million sweet, beautiful images of do you have of your husband playing with the kids and how many do you have of you? I often set my camera settings for my husband, and tell him to shoot away at me and the kids. Usually, we can get one decent photo out of him clicking about 30 times.

I also make it a point now to often get photos of just the kids and I from a professional photographer.  Even though I feel fat since I had Amelia, and my skin is not perfect (thank you photoshop!), and I am always so tired because my 18 month old STILL does not sleep through the night (not even close), the ones from this past year are already some of my very favorite photos in the world, and I know they will mean so much to my kids one day.

Really, every child will one day become an adult and cherish the photos of them with their moms. They won’t be wishing that you had waited just a little longer to lose the post partum weight. They won’t care that you look a bit tired and worn out from staying up all night with a teething baby. They will see how young and beautiful you look, and how much you loved them, and there is NOTHING more precious than that.

Really, the sweetest thing you have is that special connection between you and your child. Remember it. Photos are not only the perfect mother’s day gift to you, but to your own mother and mother in law as well, so that is an easy task to get out of the way.

These mommy and me sessions will be held on Saturday, April 16th and Saturday, April 23rd from 4:30pm-6:30pm at Wonderland Lake in north Boulder. I will have a few spots open on April 23rd in the a.m as well.
