Mommin’ is hard, a lot of the time. We lay down at night and think about all the things that we didn’t finish, didn’t do right or certainly could have done better. The laundry is never completely done, and most of the time their are dishes in the sink ( at least at my house). Regardless of all of the shortcomings we think we have, our babies don’t see any of that. Give yourself some grace, take photos with your babies. It won’t be this way for long.

Our babies are going to grow up so quickly. We’ll wake up, and they’ll be off to college, married and having kids of their own. We’ll be celebrating their dream jobs, or their first home purchase. We will barely remember them this little. Take the time to document your babies, and make sure you’re in the photos too!

What were you nervous about going into your motherhood session?

After 9 months of pregnancy, clothes don’t fit the same anymore. I didn’t really have anything to wear. With the Covid-19 pandemic, I couldn’t go into stores to purchase a new outfit. I was honest with Leslie about this upon arrival and she worked with me throughout the session which allowed me to feel comfortable and I knew she had an eye for what looked good on camera.

How old was your baby on the date of your session?

Weston turned 6 months old four days after our session.

What was your favorite part of your session experience?

Weston is the happiest baby who always has a smile on his face. Well, unless you put a clicking camera in front of him! I could not get him to smile or giggle! He was infatuated with Leslie and her camera. I laugh when I think about it!

How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?

I am so excited to be able to post our images and send them to family and friends!

Would you recommend Leslie to other mothers looking to document their relationship with their babies? Why would you recommend Leslie?

Leslie is incredibly professional, personable, and passionate about her job. Even though we didn’t get a lot of smiles out of my baby, she still captured wonderful photos that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend her!
