Mariani Family - Mother's Day Sessions '17

I have so many wonderful photos of wonderful families to share with you from these Mother's Day Sessions. This is the Mariani family. I could tell Alexis & Bob really love & enjoy their little Bobbi and Katie. We had a great time walking in the park and catching some awesome evening light. Leading me to talk about the next word I think best describes Moms:

Fun.

Not only do mama's work their tails off at home and some in the office too! But we really all are called to help (along with dad) set the tone for the household, from day to day. It is so important to teach our kiddos about being kind and how to obey, but another important lesson - have fun, enjoy your life. We know being a mother is a gift and we want our little ones to soak up the precious gift of life they've been given too. So we make silly faces and sing crazy songs or play hide and seek a billion times. But the thing our kids might not know is, we're having just as much fun living life with them.

Ferguson Family - Mother's Day Sessions '17

GUYSSSSSS. I've been taking SO many baby photos lately ... I'm having all the baby feverrrrrrr! How can you not when you look at this precious little guy?! How adorable is Danelle's sweet little Jack?!

Gentle

As I continue to think of words that describe these and all the wonderful mothers I know, this word is a must. Gentleness is a part of every mother's moment by moment - sweet hugs, kisses, always reassuring, a calm presence, rocking to sleep ... All of this and many more sweet, precious words, actions and efforts to make sure our children feel cared for. Keep on mama! That love seems unnoticed, but it truly plays a huge part in who your children are and how they see themselves.

Eberhardts - Mother's Day Sessions '17

Another adorable set of kiddos and another sweet mama! It is really such a gift to meet so many new people and their family's through my photography. The Eberhardts were another new client and they were just great to work with - super sweet and their kiddos did awesome too! As we continue with this series, here is another words that describes mothers:

Selflessness

We all need to be more selfless, even if we don't have the role of mother - for a family to work everyone has to give! Mom's learn quickly though, as it literally takes all they have to carry, then birth their baby, that this new little human must have all of you. It is a hard mental decision to consistently make, but most mamas run on love and that makes it all easier ;)

Spring has sprung

We all know Spring is in full swing because of the rain, then sun, then rain and well ... we know. But I mean Spring brings so much hope - all our anticipation from Winter gets some relief. I love the pastels and sun coming out and the Hope in Christ we celebrate on Easter. It was so much fun to capture more pictures of the adorable Nwodobo boys all dressed up in their Sunday best. Beautiful blossoms and green grass made the day even more beautiful, but these cuties stole the show!

Cassano Girls

I always thought the bond sisters get to have is just well, adorable and pretty darn special. Isabelle and Evenlyn are gonna be besties I can just feel it. Isabelle is such a sweet older sister and Evenlyn is so easy going. It was so fun to take some photos of them snuggling up, kissing and Isabelle twirling around in her pretty dress. There is just something so wonderful about little girls, so precious.
