One of the sayings I was told (and still am) as my children were growing up was “the days are long, but the years are short,” and I can’t think of a better way to describe what life in motherhood is truly like. There is a profound complexity to motherhood – it is equally wonderful and challenging. It is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. From the moment you feel those little flutters, or hold your baby for the very first time, that is when the great paradox of motherhood begins. All at once, time starts to pass slowly, but also goes by in the blink of an eye. I can’t think of a better reason to cherish and keep your legacy alive other than through photography – a motherhood lifestyle session in Bergen County, New Jersey.

The beauty of photography is that it allows time to stand still.  Photographs give us a moment in time to hold onto – tangible memories that we can hold close to our hearts for years to come. A motherhood lifestyle session is so authentic, raw, and beautiful. Capturing the true essence of motherhood, unplugged and so full of emotions of every kind, is a story I aim to tell in a motherhood lifestyle session in Bergen County NJ.

As a mother of four myself, I know how difficult it can be to get yourself and your children ready to go ANYWHERE, which is why I love offering clients my studio wardrobe.  If there is one thing I want out of a motherhood lifestyle session in Bergen County, it’s to allow the mother to come as she is with her children and not have to worry about what to wear. In a motherhood lifestyle session, I aim to provide a comfortable and worry-free experience. Let the kids be kids – running around, exploring, and wondering about the world around them while you take it all in, soaking up their innocence and curiosity.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a sweet mother and her precious little ones at a New Jersey nature reserve.  Each of them selected outfits from my studio wardrobe for this motherhood lifestyle session in Bergen County. Watching this beautiful mom explore the surrounding areas of the nature reserve with her children was just so delightful. They all had such a fun time exploring and running around. I love how natural and organic these types of lifestyle sessions are. The unposed, candid moments between a mother and her children showcase the authenticity of motherhood unplugged. Motherhood lifestyle sessions, like the motherhood journey itself, are not about perfection. They are about all of those intimate, real moments that evoke all emotions – that make up your unique motherhood experience.

If you are looking to capture your own motherhood journey, then let’s set up a motherhood lifestyle session! Whether it’s chasing your kids around a nature reserve or a cozy day spent in the comfort of your own home, I would be grateful to play a part in telling your story.
