The Motherhood Sessions


Because the love you have for your children

is a work of art -


We are always inclusive. Motherhood has no official definition on our studio and

we welcome all that identify as a parent or have filled the parental role.


  • Document your natural, intimate Motherhood moments with timeless Fine Art Photographs that are reminiscent of slow Sunday mornings spent cuddling your babies.

  • During these Fine Art Mini Sessions you’ll cradle your babies, snuggle your children, and embrace your teens while I capture your love in the comfort of the studio.

  • You’ll have beautiful art that you and your children will cherish forever. These sessions happen once a year and are perfect for capturing Motherhood, Maternity, and Breast/Bottle feeding.

  • These are easy, half hour sessions done in the comfort of our Yuma, AZ studio.

    *Please note, these are not full sessions.

Wow all I can say is just wow! Vanessa is amazing! She’s so kind and so sweet. She made me and my babies feel so comfortable with getting pictures done. She’s extremely patient and understanding when it comes to kids tuning around a studio haha. Most importantly the pictures are stunning absolutely breath taking works of art so natural and real.

Last week, when we were done [with the photo session], they couldn’t stop saying how much fun they had. Tonight, as we were looking at the photos they said, “next time we get pictures done we want to go back there.” I think you made an impression on all of us!

Thoughts on The Motherhood Sessions

If we’re lucky, we have eighteen short years to love our babies with a fierceness that will hold them through the rest of their lives. We hold their bodies close, whisper words of endearment into their ears, and cradle their heads to our chest until their souls feel the pulsing strength of our love.

All of these moments together are what define our Motherhood. And often, these moments become a wisp of a memory when our children are grown.

We focus on documenting every moment of their childhood with photos, videos, and social media shares. This is important. But in the meantime, we are right there with them experiencing the magic of raising a human (is there anything more lovely?) and yet often we are nowhere to be seen in the photos because we’re on the other side of the camera.

You deserve to be in photographs with your babies.

I want you to know that you deserve to be documented in these moments too. You deserve to see how your face softens when your little one touches your face, the way you throw your head back when your teen makes you laugh. Imagine having a photograph of you embracing your child and being able to feel the memory of that heart to heart connection once again.

See yourself the way your children do.

I will capture that love in a natural, organic way with Fine Art Photographs. This isn’t about perfection, but instead about the beauty of the imperfect. You, mama, are a work of art. The love you have for your child is possibly the most raw, gritty, and beautiful emotion you’ll experience in your lifetime. We’ll capture this love so your babies will always know and feel it.

I offer styling assistance and even wardrobe options. However, all of this is secondary to the emotional connection I’ll capture with my camera. All you need to do is cuddle and chat with your kiddos while I direct you through the session.

The Motherhood Sessions are perfect for capturing you with your children, maternity, and breastfeeding.

Your Motherhood will be more than just a wisp of memory.
