Keys and a cookie and her mama (Montclair Mommy and Me Mini Session)

This morning I’ve been going through my blog post drafts to see what I’ve started and not yet published, and I found these sweet pictures from a “mommy and me” photo shoot I did over the summer. I remember arriving at the location that day and seeing another photographer and her clients with their arms full of fancy clothes and balloons and props and equipment, and while I’m sure they made beautiful photographs, I remember the warm feeling I had about my clients, and how peaceful and lovely it felt to be walking around with only my camera, this little girl with her keys and cookie, and her mama. Finding my style and my purpose and embracing them continues to be a beautiful and transformational journey for me.
