I am so excited to share this beautiful Motherhood Session with you today! 

Sherry was looking for fine art maternity photos with her baby boy and actually made the long trip of over an hour to my studio! That’s a super hero Mom right there! As soon as she arrived, we wanted her to catch her breath and get settled in ensuring baby Mason was content first and foremost! We encourage our moms to bring anything (and everything - seriously don’t be shy!) that allows your baby to feel comfortable. This includes strollers, bouncers, a blanket for them to lay down on to stretch out their legs, teether, and anything else to make them feel like home. Our main priority is to ensure the comfort of the baby so the studio temperature is always comfy and cozy for your baby. 

Baby Mason was totally content chewing on his teether, while Mommy was getting her hair and makeup done by our amazing team of stylists.  Christina Kaian from Make Me Up RI (www.makemeupri.com) did an absolutely phenomenal job with Sherry’s makeup application. If you haven’t checked out her work yet, check her out on IG: @makemeupri.  My wife styled the hair creating a natural tousled look. 

We photographed 4 outfits: Copper-tone bodysuit, black gown, long off-the-shoulder gray sweater and a long white silk blouse. By the way, when you book with Motherly Portraits, we send you our wardrobe prep guide to help you plan our outfits and my wife will help any questions you may have as well. I understand it can be daunting trying to figure out what to wear and what to bring but no worries - our goal is always to make this experience as smooth as possible for you! 

With a feeding break then 20 minute nap in between (what baby wants, baby gets!) we finished our shoot with some beautiful photos of a very happy baby! Score! 

Are you considering booking a maternity photo shoot? 

Some families don’t value photography as much since smartphones take some pretty awesome photos. However creating family heirlooms goes beyond the smartphone. There is something special about high quality prints and albums that you’re able to hold in your hand when your child starts to speak, graduate from high school or walk down the aisle. We’ve all heard this phrase but it’s so true, TIME FLIES!  My one and only goal is to create timeless fine art portraits that you’ll be able to hold in your hand after each milestone and cherish the memories you were able to capture so beautifully in my studio.

Sherry mentioned how quickly baby Mason had changed in only 6 months!  In her review over her experience she wrote, “It is so important to me to capture these moments as they’re going by way to fast… I will cherish them forever!”

I can second that with my 2 baby girls!
