Motherhood is one of my most favorite things to photograph which is why this outdoor mommy and me session Westlake Village was so fun to capture. Everything from maternity photos to mamas with their teenagers, I love capturing the maternal love that a mother has with their child. It truly is such an emotional experience filled with so many raw and real moments that it’s one of the most important things to capture in life.

This mama wore such a beautiful dress that photographed so well and her little babe looked so stylish in her jean outfit. If you are interested in good places to shop for clothes for baby’s photoshoot, check out H&M, they always have such adorable pieces.

This session was so fun because her little bundle of joy was at SUCH an adorable age. This age has been one of my favorites personally as a mama and often one I recommend scheduling photos for. It is that sweet age where they are starting to develop the beginning stages of their personality, smiling a lot and it truly is one I find most enjoyable.

This evening was perfection as well, the sun glistening just so evenly throughout our session made for these timeless images that this mama will be able to cherish for a really long time.

I am telling you firsthand, photos truly capture such amazing memories. Looking back only a few weeks ago, I can see how much my daughter has grown, developed and changed- it’s truly remarkable and also extremely bittersweet. If it weren’t for photos I would have nothing to look back on to remember those early days. I know how memorable those days are to me and fleeting to say the least that I have loved documenting these moments for other mamas.

This outdoor mommy and me session Westlake Village was such a wonderful evening full of smiles and laughter, I absolutely loved documenting these memories!

If you are interested in capturing these moments for your sweet fam, see below to inquire. I also have package options that include multiple sessions for the entire year so you can capture your little one as they grow- either from maternity to newborn or maternity (check out this post about maternity sessions and when to take them!) to their first birthday. You end up saving on your photos when you book a package-who doesn’t love that?! You will never regret having too many photos.
