Mommy and Me – My Little Reider is 4 Months

I am in love! I’m in love with my baby boy. I’m in love with these pictures and I’m so thankful for my sweet friend, Aislinn, of Ais Portraits, for sharing her talent with me to take some pictures of me and my sweet Reider.

You cannot imagine how nervous I was about doing these. Nervous about wanting to lose more baby weight first, nervous about not having time to get ready (hello, dry shampoo!), nervous about being awkward in front of the camera… yes, even photographers feel that way. But, ladies, I am SO stinkin’ glad I did these! I mean, seriously! Who wouldn’t want sweet mama-baby snuggle pictures of yourself with your little one? This is was that first year is full of! This is what you’ve waited for 9 treacherous months! This! The snuggles. The cuddles. The sweet baby smell, may it supernaturally linger longer than it should (I legitimately prayed that).

There aren’t enough words for how glad I am that I put those nerves aside and let a pro (who knows women’s bodies and how to use flattering angles) capture this amazing, and short, season that is infancy.  I cannot say enough about how thankful I am that I shut my inner self conscious voice up for long enough to do these. I dream of offering this service to Tallahassee mamas (hint hint, I will be), and ladies… I watch my angles like you wouldn’t believe.

Thank you so much Ais Portraits for your amazing talent, and thank you to The Fount Collective for featuring this session with your beautiful collection of photography. You and I are kindred hearts.

You’re allowed to book a photo session just because you want to.
Not because of a birthday.
Not because of a milestone.
Just because you want to remember this season, exactly as it is.
📸 Ready when you are.

One thing my clients always tell me…

I'm so glad we didn’t wait until things were less hectic.
I didn’t realize how emotional I’d feel seeing these.
I walked in nervous… and left feeling powerful.
You caught so many things we didn’t even notice.
This finally made it feel real.

Because spoiler:  life’s always a little hectic.

Just yesterday I sent my newsletter subscribers first dibs on our "Elevated Back to School Photos" happening at the schoolhouse the weekend before school starts. Message me to be sent the sign up link.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth remembering!
