Motherhood Photography Session in Edmonton, Alberta

Updated: Apr 25

2023 Motherhood Photography Sessions


My 2023 Motherhood Photography Sessions Event has come and gone and I could not have been happier with how it turned out! I ended up having eight Mothers and their little ones and although the sessions were only 15 minutes long we ended up capturing some amazing images from each.


I ordered a desert bar setup through Wild Rose Cakes and it did not disappoint - all of the treats were so beautiful. There were rose flavoured donuts, blondies, mini cupcakes and branded sugar cookies. I ended up ordering way too much so a lot of it came home with me, which my boys and hubby were not at all upset about!

The event started with Marielle and Reese - I have photographed them a few times and it is so nice getting to see Reese grow and change. Photographing little boys is always a fun little challenge which I welcome with all of the movement, treats and snuggles from parents as needed. =)

Next up was Jade and Kyla, another duo who I have seen in the past. I did Jade's maternity session and Kylas newborn session and was so excited to find out Jade is expecting another little girl! I will be seeing her for her Maternity session to include Dad in a month or two but I had to sneak in some sweet shots of just the three girls ;)

Next I saw Mina - she was the winner of my Giveaway and she brought her Mom and her Daughter along for my only generational portraits of the day! Little Maisie was only 10 months and definitely had loving eyes for her Mom and Grandma throughout the session. She did not give smiles away freely but her Dad did manage to get her to crack a few by the end!

I then got to meet Gina and her three month old little Hendrix. I love photographing this age because they are usually very go with the flow - as long as he was in Moms arms he was a happy little camper! He was napping when he arrived so I was able to get some sweet yawning shots, and I was totally amazed with how happy he was when woke up!

Becky and her two kiddos, Harper and Arlo came next and they are always a favourite to photograph! Harper is the sweetest little wild child - I ask her to spin in her beautiful dresses every time I see her and she never disappoints! Arlo just turned a year old and he wasn't as sure about me this time around at first, but after I fed him a few gold fish he decided I was all right.

I met Paxton and little William next, he was also napping when they showed up but woke up totally content and ready for photographs as well. I got all of the smiles and sweet stares from William and I loved how their photos turned out on my hand painted backdrop

It was then Amanda and Ellie's turn who I also photographed as a Newborn. It was non stop smiles for Ellie and my heart was melting the entire session!

Danielle, her husband Arif and little Sinan were the last family of the day. As if their family could get any more beautiful - Danielle is now expecting twin girls! Sinan is at the age where he just wants to go! So I happily followed him around and took photos of him exploring and giving roses to his Mom.
