This has been the year mothers are existing in photographs with their children! So many mommas are behind the camera, and the simple truth is, once you are gone your children will look for portraits of you.
What will they find?
Lisa shot a boudoir session with me earlier this year (something totally out of her comfort zone) and while she was getting her hair and makeup done I mentioned to her how I shoot mother/daughter contemporary glamour portraits. Lisa loved this idea so much we made it happen.
Little sis, Lauren, age 6, and Anna and Lydia, age 10, (who are part of a set of triplets)–left their brother and dad at home to do “boy stuff” while they came with mom to be all girlie.
Lisa wanted the girls to wear identical dresses for their included dress rental. The girls picked the adorable white flowy dress with the embellishments on the top.
For a mother/daughter session, I take pictures of each child individually, together, mom individually, mom with the daughters, and so on.
The lace dress the girls are wearing is something they already owned, the white dress is their included dress rental (so Mom AND daughters get the included dress rental and hair/makeup), and the beige outfit consists of a tea-stained tops Lisa did (thanks to my tutorial) paired with tulle skirts Alisha and I made for them.
Anna was a good sport—she’s not into tulle at all, but for her momma she made sure to smile in her portraits. When we got to the tulle skirt outfit, I said, ‘Let’s do a bit more of a sassy pose for you’—look at that super model attitude! 🙂
Now, please take note of the tiara Lisa is wearing in the left portrait below. She specifically purchased the tiara for her session with her daughters. #queenoftulle The amazing gold outfit was the dress she selected for her dress rental, and the floral dress was something she already owned.
Lisa’s collection that she purchased included her reveal movie, phone gallery app, and four canvases with any of the images she wanted—I love the idea that she now owns heirloom art work that she can proudly display in her home. #existinphotographs

Beautiful family. Any mother would love Pictures with her children like this. You give them something to remember and cherish and pass on to their children. A wonderful concept, and am so glad I can tell others about you.
Thank you!
