Great Marsh Estate is the prettiest wedding venue I’ve ever been to so I love that Hana and I were able to swap maternity and mommy and me sessions in July. Click here to see the maternity images she photographed. We were extremely lucky with cooler temps and didn’t have to photograph each other in the crazy heat/ pop up thunderstorms we had been having.
Mommy and Me Sessions are so special. Every mother wants and deserves to have beautiful images with her kids. Each time I have the opportunity to photograph a mom and me session, I remember how incredibly important and special the session is. Nora is almost three here and it was fun capturing this sassy child with her gorgeous mom before her birthday party.
If you’re a mom wanting photos with your daughters or sons, send me an email and lets capture your memories. Enjoy a few of my favorite images from Hana and Nora’s Great Marsh Estate Mommy and Me Session.
