Throwing it back to when Longwood Gardens didn’t require selling your firstborn for a photo permit 😭
Still one of my favorite sessions I’ve photographed there 🤍

Motherhood isn’t just one moment.
It’s made of chapters.

The chapter where they fit perfectly in your arms.
The chapter where their tiny fingers wrap around your hair.
The chapter where you rock them, feed them, soothe them, and try to hold onto time just a little longer.

That’s why I created Chapters of Motherhood.

I wanted to create a session that feels like a story. One that captures the quiet, tender moments that pass by too quickly. The way they look at you. The way you hold them. The way this season of motherhood feels right now.

Because one day, this chapter will be a memory.

Chapters of Motherhood minis are now open for booking.
These sessions include a special moment where mama reads a letter to her babies, creating images that feel like pages from your own story.

Spots are limited and I truly can’t wait to tell your story.
✨ Booking is now open

These are the moments we never want to forget.

The tiny hands.
The quiet snuggles.
The chapters that pass before we’re ready to turn the page.

The Chapters of Motherhood

Motherhood minis open tomorrow at 3:30 PM 🤍

This one feels extra special to me.

MODEL CALL MOTHERHOOD MINIS

This world feels heavy lately, and it’s a reminder to hold our babies a little tighter. These moments, the way they fit in your arms right now, are the ones we never want to forget.

I’m looking for one mama (possibly two) with 1 or 2 little ones to help me create something very special. These motherhood minis will take place within the next couple of weeks and are centered around connection, softness, and the quiet magic of being a mother.

*This image is from a past session and is not the set we’ll be using 🤍 The set will be revealed when I share the final promo photos.*

Details
• One mama with one or two young children
• Session will take place within the next couple of weeks
• Must be willing to purchase outfits, we’ll choose them together
• Selected model will receive 5 edited images as a thank you
• Additional images available for purchase
• Must be someone I have photographed before and who follows my work here

How to apply
Comment below with your children’s ages and one thing you never want to forget about this season of motherhood.

I’ll be in touch with the selected mama(s) soon 🤍

This isn’t a “perfect” location.

It’s just the park they walk all the time.
The bench where they always sit and take a break.
The road their baby will one day run down.
The place that already holds pieces of their everyday life.

It had been raining all day.
We almost rescheduled.
But we decided to move forward anyway.

And somehow, it felt even more magical.

Your session doesn’t have to be at some grand, picture perfect venue.
And it doesn’t have to be under perfect skies either.

Sometimes the most meaningful images come from the places you already love, on days that don’t go exactly as planned.

Because one day, this bench will feel like a memory.

And that’s what we’re really preserving.

This snow has me craving spring in the deepest way.

There’s something about maternity sessions in blooming gardens that just feels right. New life surrounded by new life.

The quiet anticipation.
The big sibling kisses.
The way motherhood stretches and grows before the world even meets the baby.

If you’re welcoming a little one this spring, I would love to document this season for you.

Spring sessions are booking. 🌷

A little good news in a world that’s felt heavy lately.
Marriage equality stands.
Love stands.
And I’ll keep celebrating it every chance I get. 🤍🌈

Every year I try to collect food for the South Jersey Food Bank before the holiday season, and this year it feels more important than ever. ❤️

If you have any non-perishable items you don’t need or want to donate, please reach out! I’ll be dropping off donations at the beginning of November and again toward the end.

Let’s help make sure no family has to wonder where their next meal is coming from. 🥫✨

If SNAP funding isn’t renewed for November…
we’re not just talking about “budget cuts.”
We’re talking about empty plates and hungry kids.

How will the newly divorced stay at home mom feed her kids while she looks for work?
How will the mother about to give birth feed herself and her other children with no paid maternity leave?
How will the eldery, who already stretching every penny afford groceries?
How will the disabled, who can’t work, survive when their food assistance disappears?

This isn’t politics.
This is people.
Real families. Real kids. Real hunger.

You might not need SNAP.
But maybe your neighbor does.
Maybe your parents do.
Maybe your child’s best friend does.

Food is not a privilege.
It’s survival.
And no one in America should have to beg for it.
