How motherhood has changed me

As I reflect on my photography journey, I cannot help but think about how much my perspective has changed since becoming a mother. My initial photography business had me shooting families, and while I was able to create beautiful images, I felt like something was missing. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I just didn’t feel like I was able to translate the emotions and feelings that I saw in front of me onto my photos.

But then, I became a mother myself. And suddenly, everything made sense.

Becoming a mother changed me in so many ways, and one of the most significant ways was the way that I approached photography. Having a baby made me so much more in tune with the little moments in life- the ones that might seem insignificant to an outsider but hold so much meaning to a mother’s heart. From the way my baby would curl her tiny fingers around mine to the moment she smiled for the first time, every single moment felt like a precious gift.

And as I spent more time behind the camera, I realised that I wanted to be able to capture those moments for other mothers too. I wanted to create photographs that not only captured the beauty of the moment but also the feelings and emotions that went along with it. I wanted to create images that would become heirlooms, something that could be passed down from generation to generation, a timeless piece of art.

I believe that a picture should be more than just a pretty image- it should be something that makes you feel something, something that transports you back to that moment every time you look at it. That is why I focus on creating classic motherhood and family portraiture that is rooted in emotion, storytelling and that captures the heartfelt authentic moments.

As a mother, I understand just how hard it can be to remember to take care of yourself. We spend so much time providing, caring, and comforting our little ones that we sometimes forget that we exist too. That’s why I want to create imagery for you- not just to remember the moments with your little one but also to remember the person you’ve become and to celebrate that person, that mother that you are.

In a world that often feels hectic and uncertain, photography has become a way for me to slow down and really appreciate the beauty of life. And as a photographer, I want to share that gift with others. Motherhood has changed me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to use my camera to capture the beauty and emotion of this incredible journey.

So if you’re looking for heartfelt, emotional, and timeless photos that capture the beauty of motherhood, I’d love to work with you. Let’s create something together that you can treasure forever, something that will make you smile every time you see it, and something that will remind you just how beautiful and amazing you truly are.
