This Mother’s Day, Give Yourself the Gift You Actually Want
(It’s not another Stanley cup or Lulu leggings, I promise.)

As a new mom myself, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible journey that motherhood is. And of course, I’ve been thinking about my own mom — the woman who has shaped me in so many ways. Our relationship hasn’t always been perfect, and there have been phases of conflict, misunderstanding, and not always seeing eye to eye. But what’s always been there, underneath it all, is love — deep, undeniable love.

Through the ups and downs, the arguments and the moments of silence, love has always been the groundwork. It’s what our relationship has built on. I’ve come to realize that no matter how much time passes or how far we grow apart in certain areas, my mom will always be my mom. She’s not my best friend, and maybe she doesn’t need to be. There’s a special place for that role in my life, but my mom will always hold a unique and irreplaceable place in my heart.

Now, as we both navigate through different seasons of life, I’m watching her take on a new role that I could never have imagined before: Grammy to my three kids. It’s a role that brings its own set of joys and challenges, but it’s a beautiful one. Seeing her become a grandmother, hearing my kids call her “Grammy,” it’s like a full circle moment — and it means so much to me. I wish I had more photos of just me and my mom — the two of us together, laughing, sometimes disagreeing, but always coming back to love. As I look at my own kids now, I’m more aware than ever of how important it is to capture these moments.

That’s why, this Mother’s Day, I’m offering Mini Sessions — a chance for you to capture those moments with your own loved ones, with your mom, your kids, or whoever holds that special place in your heart.

Because these memories will be the ones you hold onto when the years go by.
And trust me, you’ll be so glad you took the time to document them.

Here’s what’s included:

  • A 15–20 minute session at a beautiful outdoor location

  • 8+ fully edited, high-resolution digital images

  • Outfit and session guidance

  • A relaxed, joyful experience that gives you the gift of being in the frame

Pricing: $195
Limited spots available

So this year, instead of another pair of leggings or a new water bottle, treat yourself to something that truly lasts: the gift of being present in your own story.

You’ll never regret having these moments captured. I know I won’t.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and women who make our lives beautiful. May you spend the day surrounded by love and memories.
