Studio Maternity Film Portraits Chico California
As a mom, it feels easier in the moment to not get in front of the camera and I totally get it!
I’ve been there too when my body is either in a place of healing or not quite where I want to be. Maternity season is so beautiful but also another chance to surrender. Surrender the way our bodies shape and mold when we’re growing a baby.
Chico Motherhood Daughter Photographer Session in Northern California
Gosh, this session brings our businesses and the last few years so full circle! Lainie came into our lives right before I became a mama. She started working in our home and helping out with at the time our wedding photography business. Shortly after working for us, our Rainmaker business where we teach moms how they can have financial and time freedom grew and we needed more help. This was right after we had our first son Kaizen. Lainie stepped in and helped with so much. From being Kaizen’s amazing nanny, to my assistant and beyond. She truly became family!
