My sister and I started talking about this idea months ago – a portrait session for just her and her babies.  We take birthday portraits for the kiddos each year, but never have we set aside a session for Jessie to freeze moments of time with her children in her arms.  In the busyness of life, it can be difficult to make time for “just because” portraits, but I am so glad we did this.  Seeing my sister as a mother is amazing.  She fills the role with such grace and ease, and always seems to have enough love and time and room on her lap for all of them.  Michael and James are two adventurous, spunky little boys who are mischievous as can be, but then turn around and melt your heart with their sweet hugs and kisses and “I love you’s.”  And then Miss Audrey – a spirited redhead if there ever was one!  She is sassy and sweet, and determined to keep up with those older brothers of hers!

Take a look at this beautiful Mama & Me session, and perhaps be inspired to slow down and make time for some “just because” portraits of your own.  Huge thank you to the ever so talented Tara of Farmhouse Blooms who made the beautiful floral crowns and accessories we used for our shoot!  Fresh flowers always add a special touch to moments like this, I adore the amazing floral crowns she created for this session!

Be still my heart!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

A succulent ring and floral bracelet!  Tara, your creativity never ceases to amaze me!

Don’t be fooled by that angelic face – Audrey was not interested in keeping this beautiful crown on her head for more than 10 seconds at a time.  Little stinker.

I hope they are this sweet forever.
