Finding My “Why” as a Motherhood & Family Photographer

Hi friend, let me take you back for a moment. (If you read this blog with Clair de Lune playing in the background, I can’t promise you won’t cry.)

Do you know how Simon Sinek always says that “your “why” is the thing you give to the world, the fundamental core of what inspires you, the spark of what drives you”.

Well let me take you on the marvellous journey of how I found my business’ “why”. Let me give you a hint 👇🏻

You know how it’s almost always the mom who ends up behind the camera? She’s the one capturing the messy breakfasts, the park days, the milestones and everything in between? Basically the everyday little things that make up her family’s story. She does it so her kids can look back one day, and so she can remember it all when she’s older.

That wasn’t my story growing up, though. My mom was one of the lucky ones.

My dad was the photography enthusiast in our house, always with a camera in hand. He photographed everything: my mom, my brother, me, and even the clouds (he was obsessed 😂 and honestly, clouds are worth obsessing over).

Because of him, my mom became the star of every single photo album we own. To me, that was normal. I got to see her motherhood journey unfold, page after page. How her body changed, her love deepened and how her presence shone through every image. That imprinted on me. On my mind, my heart, and my soul.

At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But years later, when I became a mom myself, the realization hit me hard.

And here’s the little secret: my husband is not exactly the best photographer. So I don’t have many photos of myself with my little ones. At least, not the kind that feel beautiful or timeless 🥲 (Don’t worry, he’s learning 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻). He took this photo of my daughter and I on our trip to Dominican Republic and I think I cried when I saw it!

I want to create what my mom had, and what I still don’t but am creating for myself: a true visual legacy of motherhood. I want you to finally see yourself the way the rest of the world sees you. I want you to feel seen, celebrated and remembered.

Because I know so many moms feel unseen. They’re busy documenting everyone else’s story, but no one’s documenting theirs.

So my mission is simple: to honor your motherhood journey. To give you photographs that feel intimate, raw and genuine. To make you feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful, because you deserve that ✨guilt free. Always✨

That’s the heart of my work. That’s the flame that keeps me going.
