A dream come true!
Being a parent during COVID times is no easy feat and unlike any pre pandemic times, the avenues one used to be able to take to unwind are limited, if not nearly nonexistent or even gone for some. As a mother myself to an incredible one year old, I wanted to create a unique Mother's Day gift idea this year. One that would really give mother's a space to feel every bit as beautiful, inspiring, and sensational as they are.
I immediately fell in love with the natural light at Isssue Coworking Studio, how it poured in through the floor to ceiling windows enveloping the room. Then began the collaboration with Heirloom Florals for a dreamy floral backdrop.
Heirloom Florals created what can only be described as a flowery dream.
Incorporating our shared vision and love for earthy tones, she poured her heart into picking the most elegant choices for these sessions.
Toffee Roses were carefully placed among Eucalyptus and Italian Ruscus.
Like a touch of sunlight and warmth, the Billy Balls were next complimenting the soft pink of the Blush Carnations.
Last but certainly not least, these beautiful arrangements were completed with heavenly Wax Flowers and a breath of Pampas Grass.
The finished look? Perfection.
And so the sessions began!
It will never stop being the loveliest of surprises the connections you make and the many inspiring people you meet during photoshoots. The first group was an amazing young woman who booked this not only for her mother but grandmother too and were accompanied by an adoring grandpa and proud dad. From the loving looks exchanged, the unbridled laughter, and generations of love before my eyes...this was truly an incredible family dynamic to witness.
A Momma of two!
When this momma walked in with her two sweet boys, I was instantly thrilled! As our session began, she made being a mom of two, one being under a month and the other a toddler, look truly effortless. It reiterated my belief that the best captured moments are not posed but rather candid as that catches the raw authenticity of things. The grace and love you see radiated from this momma in these photos is exactly that and makes me feel honored I was able to be there to take photos of the special bond she has with her two sons.
The final session!
There are times when you witness a bond so beautiful between a parent and child that it simultaneously moves you and excites you for the future.
This was one of those sessions.
This mom and son clearly adored one another and had so much fun with with the photoshoot. They exchanged smiles, laughed, and relaxed while I took photos. We talked flowers, impeccable style and hats (see this momma's gorgeous outfit), and day jobs making it the perfect session to end off with.
Thanks to all who made these Mother's Day Mini Sessions a lovely success!
