I am so excited to announce Mommy and Me Mini Sessions in May (say that 5 times fast). I love this idea for a few reasons. First of all as a mom myself I know I would much rather be behind the camera than in front. I mean my kids are so much cuter than I am and it seems like when I do find myself the subject of pictures it always comes in the most inopportune times. Like after giving birth, Christmas morning, or after staying up all night putting the finishing touches on a Spiderman birthday party that some how ended in tears for both the birthday boy and myself. Lovley memories. But this is what my children will have to look back on if I don't make an effort to get in photos more often. I think a lot of moms feel this way. There is always a reason to critize our pictures, too fat, bad hair, weird expression, too many wrinkles. However, 20 years from now we will likley only be fatter, weirder, have less hair and more wrinkles. The time is now, plus our kids won't look at these pictures and think all of those things. They will look at them and remember the moms who played with them, took care of them, and loved them.

Which brings me to the Mommy and Me Minis. Sessions will take place May 4th and 11th at River Legacy Park in Arlington. The focus will be getting sweet, genuine pictures of you and your child. Pictures that reflect your relationship and personalties. Schedule a session for yourself, or better yet request one for Mother's Day!

I was lucky enough to have my friend and her adorable daughter do a sample session for me. Here is a little of what to expect.
