Victoria and London’s session captured the kind of love that only lives between a mom and her baby girl.


There’s something extra special about Mommy + Me sessions. Maybe it’s because moms are usually the ones taking the photos, rarely in them. Maybe it’s because the love between a mother and her child is so easy to photograph when it’s just the two of them.


Whatever the reason, this session with Victoria and her daughter London was the kind of shoot that reminds me why I do what I do.


☀️ Hot Weather, Warm Moments

We met on a June morning when the sun was soft and golden but, let’s be honest, it was hot. The kind of hot where toddlers don’t want to do anything except be held, and every movement feels a little slower.


But London? She was a champ. A little hesitant at first (who wouldn’t be?), but sweet and curious in the way toddlers always are. And Victoria? completely calm, totally locked in with her daughter, full of those quiet mom instincts that make everything feel grounded.


They cuddled in the tall grass. They held hands. Victoria whispered little things into London’s ear that made her giggle. Nothing over-posed. Just them being together, exactly as they are right now.


📸 Real Over Perfect

That’s what I love about these kinds of sessions. It’s not about getting the perfect smile. It’s about capturing the bond, the way your child leans into you when they’re tired, or how their fingers find yours without thinking.


We kept things super relaxed. No big poses. Just movement, closeness, and space to be themselves.

And the results? Some of my favorite images of the season.


💬 Why These Sessions Matter

If you’re a mom reading this: when was the last time you were in the photo? Not just as an extra in a family shot, but in it — present, holding your baby, laughing, being seen?



You don’t have to wait for a holiday or a milestone. These sessions are about right now. This version of you. The one your kid will remember most.
