Some of the most meaningful photos don’t happen at golden hour or in a sweeping outdoor location. They happen right at home, in the quiet, familiar rhythm of daily life. As an Abbotsford photographer who focuses on lifestyle family and motherhood sessions, I’m always drawn to those genuine, intimate moments.
This cozy in home session with mom and her baby was a perfect example of how beautiful the everyday can be! Add in the element of this being a session completely shot on 35mm film, and it is just pure perfection.
There’s something truly magical about photographing families in their own space. It’s where your routines unfold, where your child takes their first steps, where the memories live!
During this session, we didn’t plan anything elaborate. The morning flowed naturally with coffee in hand, books and toys on the floor, cuddles in between.
These photos aren’t just pretty, the are filled with emotion. They capture the kind of connection that only happens when you’re comfortable, grounded, and truly yourself!
From the moment I arrived, it felt like stepping into a cozy, love filled bubble! Mom was making a fresh cup of coffee in the kitchen, toys were already scattered across the floor, and baby girl was ready to play!
We spent the morning documenting everything from cuddles on the patio to reading board books, and of course, included a little snack at the end, because who doesn’t love ending the session with a snack!
As an Abbotsford photographer, I aim to create space for moms to be seen in the story, not just behind the scenes!
Too often, mothers are the memory makers but aren’t in the memories. Think about all the photos on your phone of your kiddos, your partner, everyone else but you! These sessions are a chance to press pause, soak in your child’s littleness, and see yourself as the loving, incredible parent you are, even if that includes a messy bun and tired eyes. This session was a gentle reminder that the small stuff is the big stuff.
