Something I really love about this session is that you can almost feel the warmth of the sun when looking through the photographs. It just feels like home. There is light and laughter and so much love. They truly never stopped laughing and playing.

This session celebrated the joy of their family, the beauty of motherhood, and their deep connection to nature.

SSRIs Saved Me As a Mother - Boca Raton Family Photographer

SSRIs Saved Me As a Mother - Boca Raton Family Photographer

This photograph, of me, will always be my favorite from that time.

This is so much of what motherhood has felt like to me. Everything is a foggy memory because I was in constant fight or flight. Something that might seem like a normal inconvenience would send me into a full spiral. I would look around at other mothers and say, “How are you enjoying this? Why did you choose to have another baby and do this to yourself all over again? What’s wrong with me? Am I ever going to enjoy motherhood?”

I wasn’t someone who fell in love with her baby right when they put her on my chest. It took me almost two years to feel that for her. Yes, I had love for her and would do anything for her, but she felt like a stranger to me. I couldn’t let her in because I was actively fighting motherhood every day.

We spent time in their rooms while they showed me their favorite toys. Mom said that some of those toys hadn’t seen the light of day in about a year. There is something deeper in the meaning of these sessions. Having someone pay attention to you as a family, take the time to document it slowly, show you how important you are as a family, but also individuals, and allowing you to explore the past and present. These kids had someone asking about what brought them joy and wanting to photograph that. They had the chance to feel seen by someone other than their parents. They had the opportunity to feel seen WITH their parents. So often we are the ones doing all of the work and when you have someone else see how special your family is, there is so much honor in that.

Preserving a Fisher Island Family's Legacy Through Photographs

Preserving a Fisher Island Family's Legacy Through Photographs

What do you want the world to remember about you? What do you want your children to remember about you as a parent? How do you want your spouse to feel thirty years from now? How will you preserve those memories that you cherish and spent years making?

This is why I work very closely with my custom printer, framer, and album artisan. Preserving my client’s legacy by print is as equally important as photographing them.

Don’t let your legacy die on a hard drive.
