Moms in the Frame: The Undeniable Importance of Capturing Timeless Moments

Hey there, fellow moms! We need to talk about something that often takes a back seat in the chaos of parenting – you being in the picture. Yep, we're shining a light on the importance of not just being behind the camera but proudly being in the frame with your kiddos. It's time to celebrate the beauty of motherhood by embracing the click and capturing those timeless moments.

  1. Creating Lasting Memories:

    Moms, you are an integral part of your family's story, and that story deserves to be captured in its entirety. Being in pictures with your kids creates lasting memories that go beyond posed perfection. It's about freezing moments in time, the laughter, the snuggles, and the everyday magic that makes your journey uniquely yours.

  2. Building a Visual Legacy:

    Your presence in photos contributes to building a visual legacy for your children. Imagine the joy they'll experience flipping through albums or scrolling through digital memories, seeing you right there beside them through the different stages of life. It's a priceless gift you give to your family and generations to come.

  3. Affirming Connection and Love:

    There's something powerful about seeing the love between a mother and her children captured in a photograph. Those candid shots, the stolen glances, the shared giggles – they affirm the unbreakable bond you share. Photos become a tangible reminder of the warmth and connection that defines your relationship.

  4. Fostering Positive Self-Image:

    Being in pictures with your kids isn't just about them; it's about you too. Embracing the camera helps foster a positive self-image and self-love. Your kids see you, not just as their caregiver, but as a vibrant, integral part of the family narrative. It sets a beautiful example of self-acceptance.

  5. Moments You'll Cherish:

    Time flies, and kids grow up in the blink of an eye. Being present in pictures ensures that you have tangible memories of the fleeting moments. One day, you'll look back and be grateful for those pictures that transport you to a time when tiny hands held yours and bedtime stories were a nightly ritual.

In conclusion, dear moms, it's time to step into the frame. Embrace the imperfect, the messy hair, the mismatched socks, and the joyous chaos that defines motherhood. You are an essential part of the family narrative, and your presence in pictures adds depth, love, and authenticity to your story. Let's capture the moments, celebrate the journey, and remind ourselves that, in every frame, there's a beautiful mom creating a lifetime of memories with her kids.

Sunset Family Pictures at Gahanna Woods Nature Preserve

Sometimes sunny winter days are hard to come by in Ohio so when I saw the sun shining this day, I was so thrilled! The people in these photos are very special to me as they are family and I am always so flattered when friends and family ask me to take pictures for them. Starting and running a business can be difficult, especially as a parent so I am always very thankful when I receive support like this.

The sunlight plus perfectly coordinated outfits made these family pictures a breeze. We had a lot of fun playing and laughing with the kids. If you follow my work, you know that I specialize in sunrise and sunset sessions. The best thing about winter and spring (well, for my sessions) is that the sun goes down early so it is perfect for children with early bedtimes. 

Often times, during a photo session, I know as soon as I push the shutter which photos are going to be my favorites and wall-worthy. This happened too many times to count for this family so they received a huge amount of images in their gallery. It was so hard for me to not share them all in this blog post, especially because they are my niece and nephew!

Enjoy these super cute photos and please don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Facebook!

 

A Holiday Maternity Session at Franklin Park Conservatory

A gorgeous momma in gorgeous dresses surrounded by amazing greenery.. This session was amazing from start to finish! We started inside Franklin Park Conservatory and then braved the cold winter air outside for about 5 minutes right as the sun went down. 

My beautiful friend is carrying two little miracles and we could not be happier for her and her family. She really is glowing.

Lisa- thank you so much for being so amazing and gorgeous! We all cannot wait to meet these babies!

Love,
