Motherhood Sessions

Motherhood Photography in Queen Creek, AZ

You're almost always the one behind the camera. This session is your turn to be in the photos, with your kids, exactly as they are right now. Not stiff portraits. Squished cheeks, whispered secrets, little arms wrapped around your neck, and the way they look at you. Let go of how you look in every frame and just be their mom. I'll guide you along the way and catch the rest on 35mm film, here in Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa and the East Valley.

The Session Experience

My Style

My style is candid, emotive, and story-driven. I’m drawn to the natural rhythm of your family rather than overly posed moments, so your gallery reflects not only how everything looked, but how it felt. I want your images to hold the energy, tenderness, and joy of this season in a way that feels timeless and real.

All of my images are documented using analog 35mm film. 

Film photography uses a light-sensitive roll of physical film instead of a digital sensor. Because each frame counts, there are a limited number of total images. This makes the process slower and more intentional.

The film is then developed and scanned into your final digital images, with natural grain, softer tones, and an organic, timeless quality.

1 hour 30 minutes — $750

Capturing your family as you truly are. Raw emotion. Tears. Smiles. Laughs. Hugs. Stealing a kiss. Those sweet little fingers and toes.

Photographing families on film gives space for a slower, more grounded kind of session — one where connection can take the lead. Whether your family session takes place outdoors or in a setting that feels most like home to you, I want the experience to feel easy and meaningful from start to finish.

MOTHERHOOD SESSION PRICING

Schedule

Motherhood sessions are centered around you and your kids — the connection you share and all the little ways they love and need you in this season.

We’ll choose a location and outfits together, then spend our time playing, exploring, cuddling, and simply being together. I’ll give you direction when needed, but the goal isn’t to have everyone perfectly posed. It’s to let your relationship be the focus.

These sessions are a chance to slow down and document the things that feel so ordinary now — their little hands in yours, the way they climb into your arms, and how they look at you.

Because they won’t always be this little, and this version of motherhood won’t last forever.

Do you pose us?

Not in a stiff way. We'll play, explore and cuddle, and I'll give gentle direction when needed. The goal isn't perfect posing. It's letting your relationship be the focus.

My kids won't sit still. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Running, giggling and climbing into your arms are all part of this season. There's no pressure for the "perfect" shot.

What should we wear?

Choose two or three soft colors, like cream, olive, rust or denim, and add texture with knits or linen. Skip big logos. I'm happy to help with outfit ideas after you book.

What happens after I book?
