Moms – Book a Photo Session and Get IN the Picture

Moms – Book a Photo Session and Get IN the picture!

First, let me say, I get it! I TOTALLY do! When I was pregnant with my boys, I did not feel good about myself. I was in no mood to have photos taken of me. Once my kids were here, I was constantly taking photos of them. However, I rarely, if ever, ended up in the photos.

Book a Photo Session

You may be considering booking a photo session for your little one(s) or maybe you already have one booked, so let me encourage you to PLEASE take advantage of the opportunity and get IN the picture! Take some time to get pampered. Stop by the salon for hair and makeup. Pickup a new outfit if you would like. Just be sure to invest time into making yourself feel good so that you are confident and excited to get in front of the camera.

In my studio, I pride myself in supplying a wardrobe for all my maternity and mommy clients as well as the kiddos. My mama clients always LOVE that the gowns are available to them.

I recently hosted an event this year for mommies and their babies and hair and makeup was provided! Who better to hear it from than the moms that attended this event. Here’s some of what they had to say:

Session Feedback from Moms

Angilee Said:

She made it effortless! I walked in, picked my gown, sat down and got pampered with hair and make up, which by the way, I loved the make up artist! She truly made me feel beautiful. Then once it came to pictures, I had to hold back tears, because I could already envision the outcome of the photos and knew that Angie was capturing the magic that I felt!

The slideshow was a perfect introduction to them!!! I had such anticipation for them, and it was such a special moment for me. I wasn’t in Mason’s newborn photos which I now incredibly regret. And the bond that you can see in these photos have definitely filled the void of not having photos of the bond between newborn photos. I had been looking forward to this event forever, and had been talking about it to friends family and co-workers. Angie truly touched my heart in capturing these beautiful photos and moments of my best bud and I, thank you again!

Holly Said:

It felt good to allow myself to get a little pampered and look pretty for the mommy and me event. Initially I was hesitant to participate, but I’m so glad I decided to do it! The beautiful moments Angie captured between me and my two children is something I’ll always treasure. The funny thing is I felt like that kids weren’t even cooperating for the photoshoot, but the end result proved otherwise! Thank you, Angie!

Jen Said:

Loved the event. It went smooth in my opinion. When I got there I didn’t mind waiting and enjoyed talking with other mommas. I loved hair and makeup. {When I saw the pictures,} I cried. To see how beautiful I looked in them along with how my daughters look at me. {What did this event mean to me?} It meant that for those two hours and even into the night I felt like a princess! And I got to see the way my daughters look at me when I don’t normally see that.

I can’t tell you how much the gown can change your attitude toward photos. Whether it is with me, or another photographer, I highly recommend being IN the photos for your maternity, newborn, and family sessions! I promise you won’t regret it!

So book a photo session today 🙂

I am Angie, a wife and mama to two sweet little boys! I’m a portrait photographer in Lancaster county capturing the journey to and through motherhood. I believe that women look the most gorgeous when pregnant and I want them to feel the same way about themselves. My goal for each maternity session is for mamas to realize just how beautiful they are. I also enjoy capturing little ones while they are still little. All the details of newborns, from the tiny toes to the milk bumps on their nose, are my absolute favorite!
