There is nothing I love more than capturing Mother-Daughter Portraits. These portraits are extra special because not only do I get to fufill my passion of making women feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera, but I also know that the work I am creating is so deeply meaningful. Your mom is your first female role model, she carried you in her womb and I now know, being a mom myself, that she continued to sacrifice her body for you for many years after you were born. Your mom teaches you so much and protects you and loves you fiercely. Seriously she is irreplaceable right? But the bittersweet thing is moms aren’t around to care for us forever, and one day a portrait with you and your mom looking amazing will literally be one of the most priceless possessions you have. The fact that I can freeze time for mothers and daughters, to snap their bond, to give them both confidence, and to make them look and feel fabulous and create a fun day they will always remember… That is epic to me! I love it with all my heart! So yeah… Mother Daughter shoots are my favorite!And they are the PERFECT gift too! So check out this recent shoot and then send me an email… I’d love to create the most unique and priceless gift you’ve ever given your mom in the new year!
Last year, in the midst of morning sickness a pregnancy, I shot this fabulous mother daughter glamour shoot but never got around to sharing it! So I thought better late than never right?!I love the story behind this shoot. I donated a $500 credit toward a boudoir shoot to the American Heart Association's Heart Beach Ball here in Santa Barbara. The Heart Beach Ball happens annually and is a big fundraiser from AHA! Sarah is on the board and attended the event, and bid on the shoot... AND WON! Woohoo! So this shoot we got to celebrate her and her journey and her charitable work for AHA. I had so much fun photographing her daughter Madison! Too cute!Sarah was floored by the photos and bought quite a few wall portraits to give as gifts to her husband and her daughter for Christmas. I love knowing that a huge canvas hangs in their house, as well as as some smaller shots on her husband's desk. I also love that she got Madison some images for her room-- how great is that for a young girl's self esteem to have gorgeous portraits of herself of the wall of her room! LOVE!Sarah loved everything so much she asked me to donate to Heart Beach Ball again... And I did! Can't wait to meet this year's lucky winner! :)

Mother -Daughter glamour shoots are always a BLAST! Seriously this is the perfect gift for all moms-- whether you give it to your wife, sister, close friend, or your own mom-- it's guaranteed to be unique, memorable and much appreciated! Moms work so hard for their families and to make ends meet. Seriously, I can't think of one mom I know who doesn't put her family before herself constantly! And a Glamour photoshoot is great time to make mom the star for a day! She can relax and actually be pampered-- because really isn't getting your hair and make up professionally done the ultimate treat! Then she gets to be made to feel like a supermodel in front of the camera, getting photos with the gal he loves most (her daughter) and also a few solo shots! How fun! It's always so cute to me how much the moms I shoot go crazy for the photos of themselves with their daughter, and radiate with joy over the gorgeous solo daughter shots... but practically tear up with happiness at their own solo shots-- because it reminds her of the sexy woman she is and reminds her that she is beautiful (which is easy to forget when you are taking care of everyone else before yourself). These shoots are some of my favorites for this reason, and I am excited to share an example from an extra special one here!
How SMOKIN' HOT is this momma?!
Of course her daughter got to rock the spotlight too! :)
