Why Mommy & Me Sessions Matter (Even If You Feel Like a Hot Mess)
For all of the mommas out there!
Let’s be honest for a second.
Most moms don’t book photos for themselves.
We book them for birthdays, milestones, Christmas cards, grandparents — everyone else.
And then we realize we’re barely in any of the photos.
I hear this constantly from moms in York and Lancaster, PA:
“I don’t need to be in them.”
“I’ll do it next year.”
“I just want good ones of the kids.”
But here’s the truth, mom to mom — your kids want you in the photos too. Not the perfect version. Just you.
That’s exactly why I offer Mommy & Me mini sessions in York and Lancaster.
They’re simple, relaxed, and focused on moms and their kids — without turning it into a big production.
These Sessions Are For All Mommas
These aren’t “everyone wear white and smile at the camera” sessions.
They’re short, relaxed Mommy & Me mini sessions — low-pressure by design, because no one has the energy for complicated right now. Kids can move. You can breathe. Nobody’s expecting perfection.
You show up, we hang out for a few minutes, and I guide things just enough to make it feel easy.
That’s it.
Why Moms Always Tell Me They’re Glad They Did This
Almost every mom says some version of:
“I almost didn’t book.”
“I’m so glad I did.”
“I didn’t realize how much I needed these.”
And honestly? That tracks.
You’re in this season right now. The kids are this size right now. And these Mommy & Me mini sessions end up meaning more than you think — especially years from now.

If You’re on the Fence…
This is your gentle nudge.
Not because you “should.”
Not because your house is clean or your kids behave.
But because you’re part of the story — whether you feel photo-ready or not.
What to Wear (Keep This Simple)
Stick to comfortable clothes you feel good moving in. Soft neutrals, light denim, cozy knits, or a simple dress always photograph well for Mommy & Me mini sessions. The goal isn’t matching perfectly — it’s looking like you on a normal good day.
For kids, think easy + flexible. If they can sit, run, or be held without fussing with their clothes, you’re golden.
If you’re unsure, I’m always happy to help you decide. This does not need to be another thing on your mental load.
