Bare Motherhood | Jessica + Ellie |Kentucky Motherhood Portrait Photographer

January is the month where everyone is working hard towards those New Years resolutions we all set once a year during New Years. One of my goals was to capture everything that I love and to stray away from sessions that don’t fuel my soul.

Do you know what I love the most about our community of photographers in this area? They are all amazing, supportive, and specialize in so many different things. Each of us has a unique touch in our art and different styles that we all strive to achieve. None of us are the same and there is such beauty in that. Photography is so amazing!

Now that I am reaching my fifth year of business, I’ve really been thinking long and hard about the content I want to share, the moments I truly want to help create for people, and how my art will help me to stand out and show my unique outlook on life. I could list so many things but today I want to only talk about one of those goals which is Intimate Motherhood Sessions.

I am talking about those motherhood images that move the soul. The type of images that captures the bond and connection between a mother and her child(ren). The experience from me that helps them to feel more connected not only to their babies but in themselves as well. These type of sessions are for YOU and your children to cherish for years to come.

You don’t have to be naked, although it is welcomed to do skin to skin, I feel it represent the rawness of motherhood. God gave us all one body. With this one body, it was made to birth and nourish life. Think about that for a minute. How incredible is that. Your body deserves to be celebrated and by doing a “Bare Motherhood” session, your capturing all of that and more in the most artful and beautiful way.

Again, you do not have to be naked for these Intimate motherhood sessions. That is just one option I will offer. Wear a beautiful long flow dress or basically anything comfortable in neutral or earthy tones. I just want you to snuggle your babies and allow me to capture just that! I want to focus on the love, connection, and authenticity between each of you.

So, in 2020 one of my HUGE goals is to strive to create these intimate motherhood images. It’s okay if this type of session doesn’t appeal to you. I still capture motherhood sessions outdoors or however your heart desires. It’s important to me that we get to know each other prior to our session that way I can truly understand the moments that you want me to help you document. Your moment’s are so important to me.

I created a Mom’s Only/Female Only/ Secret FB group to display these types of sessions as well as provide a supportive and kind environment for Mamas of all season to come together. Want to join us? Click HERE.

Also a reminder: I will NEVER share any of your images without your consent. <3 Signing of a Model Release is required.

Below is a recent Intimate Motherhood Session that I had with Jessica and Ellie in my new at home studio. I absolutely love how these moments turned out and am so grateful for Jessica, who helped me create a gallery to show clients the images I would love to capture for mothers. Your babies will not be babies forever and each day they grow and change, way to fast for our hearts to bare. Their hands might not fit into yours the way they do today and those little details of daily life are so fleeting. That is why I am so passionate with photography, no matter what type of session I am helping to document, the real, raw, emotional, organic moments that make you and your loved ones special is what I love to focus on and preserve forever.
