YOUR CHESAPEAKE VIRGINIA MOTHERHOOD PHOTOGRAPHER
MOTHERHOOD
Motherhood is a remarkable adventure, brimming with both beauty and resilience. From the quiet cuddles in the early hours to the laughter-filled chaos of family dinners, every moment is a testament to the strength of a mother's love. Documenting and photographing this journey is like capturing fireflies in a jar - it freezes those fleeting moments in time, allowing us to cherish them long after they've passed.
Yes, I frequently hear the sentiment, "Let me lose a few pounds before booking a session." Ladies, don't let your size hold you back from being in front of the camera. You are beautiful and worthy of celebration at every size. I'm here to support you throughout the process, ensuring we capture the most flattering shots from every angle. My aim isn't just to document the beauty of your journey into motherhood but also to make the experience stress-free and enjoyable for you.
Remember, the true essence of motherhood lies in the love and joy you bring to each moment, not in the number on a scale. Embrace yourself as you are because that authenticity shines brightest in photographs. Let's create timeless memories that reflect the beauty and strength of your journey through motherhood, ones you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Mommy and Me: The Watch Me
Grow Experience
Motherhood is an incredible journey that unfolds before our eyes, especially in the first year. Every laugh, every milestone, and every tiny change can seem like they’re happening in the blink of an eye. If you’re a mom who wants to preserve those precious moments of your baby’s fast-paced growth, I’m excited to offer the Mommy and Me: Watch Me Grow Bundle—a unique experience designed to document the first year of your little one’s life with four carefully crafted sessions.
The Watch Me Grow Bundle is perfect for mothers who want to capture their baby’s milestones as they change month by month, creating a timeless record of their growth and the tender bond between you and your child.
This exclusive package includes:
• Four Sessions: Your baby’s growth captured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
• 4 Images per Session: Each session includes 4 beautiful, fine art images that perfectly represent each stage of your child’s journey.
• Up to 2 Children Included: Bring along a sibling for these special moments—whether it’s a firstborn, younger sibling, or family dynamics you want to capture.
• Careful Styling: Every session is thoughtfully styled to highlight your family’s connection, ensuring your memories are captured with elegance and beauty.
• Client Closet Access: Choose from a curated selection of dresses to make you feel stunning and confident during your session.
• Print Release: You’ll receive a print release, giving you the freedom to print your images anywhere you choose, and the option to access a high-quality print lab for museum-quality prints that will last your family a lifetime.
• Exclusivity: This bundle is specifically designed to document your baby’s first year and is not interchangeable with other session types, such as fine art children, family, motherhood, or pet portraiture.
Whether it’s those first giggles or the tiny fingers gripping your hand, these moments pass quickly. The Mommy and Me: Watch Me Grow Bundle helps ensure those memories are preserved in a way that celebrates the love and connection between you and your child.
If you’re ready to document your baby’s incredible journey and create lasting memories, I would love to be a part of this experience with you.

We're incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with Iya and utilize her services from Okinawa to the East Coast of the USA. Over the last 2.5 years, she's worked with my crew (young daughter and 3 dogs) to create some FABULOUS results.
Highly recommend her for her precision, creative visions and the final products are absolutely breathtaking.
