CELEBRATING MOTHERHOOD:

The Magic of Mommy and Me Photoshoots

DENVER MOMMY & ME PHOTOGRAHER

Hi! My name is Leanne. I am a family photographer based in Aurora, Colorado. The image below is very special to me. It's me with my eldest son. As a mother myself, I love capturing beautiful moments between Mom's and their little ones.

7 years ago, I had newborn photos taken of my son. During the photoshoot the photographer asked me if I would like a family photo. It was less than 2 weeks since I had given birth, I hadn't done my hair and makeup. I was very self-conscious, so I said no.

Looking back at those early days through my cell phone pictures, I realize I actually looked great! But hormones and the changes our bodies go through can play tricks on our perception. Regardless of how I looked, I regret not documenting those precious moments with my son.

I think all mothers can relate to always being the ones to capture the everyday moments you want to remember. But rarely being the ones in the shot.

When I started my journey as a professional photographer, I shot a Mommy and Me session. It focused entirely on Mommy and her beautiful baby daughter.

There was no "look at the camera and smile" moments. Instead, Mommy hugged, snuggled and kissed her beautiful girl. She held her up in the air and made her giggle. I stood back and captured the bond between them.

Reflecting on that session, I wish I could go back in time and capture more of those moments with my son. So now, I make a conscious effort to capture more shots of me with my little boys. I know I'll thank myself for it in the years to come.

Through my work, I've witnessed the pure magic that unfolds during Mommy and Me sessions. They go beyond creating beautiful images—they hold profound significance for mothers and their children.

Here are some reasons why every mom should consider a Mommy and Me photoshoot:

CELEBRATE THE BOND:

A Mommy and Me photoshoot is a wonderful celebration of the special bond between a mother and her child. It captures genuine moments of connection, love, and shared laughter.
