A fine-art portrait experience created exclusively for mothers and their children, celebrating connection, tenderness, and the season you’re in right now.

🌿The Motherhood In Bloom experience

This is an invitation to slow down — to be present, held, and seen in the role that so often puts everyone else first. The Motherhood in Bloom Experience honors the quiet connection between a mother and her children: the way hands rest, the way bodies lean in, the way love lives in the in-between moments. These portraits are not about perfection or performance. They are about presence.

This experience is not a maternity session.

It is designed for mothers who are already in the thick of motherhood — documenting relationship, closeness, and connection as it exists right now.

  • Session Price: $350 – includes up to 4 hand-edited, high-resolution digital images and print releases
  • Fine Art Print Options: Access a professional print lab for desk-sized prints or large wall art, available for additional purchase to beautifully display your images at home.
  • Up to 20-Minute On-Location Session: Short enough to let children feel at ease, long enough to capture genuine smiles, quiet moments, and little gestures that tell your story.
  • Includes Up to 2 Children: Your first two little ones are included; additional children can be added for $20 each.
  • Fine Art Hand-Edited Images: Each image is carefully hand-edited to highlight emotion and connection—not just basic retouching. Additional images are available for $50 each or $250 for a full gallery ( 10 image collection ) download. 
  • Private Gallery Reveal: About 2 weeks after your session, join a cozy Zoom appointment to view and select your favorite images, ensuring you walk away with the ones that truly capture your story.

Motherhood moves quickly, even in its softest moments. This experience is an invitation to pause—to step into the frame and preserve the way this season feels right now.

Sessions are limited to maintain a calm, unrushed experience. If this speaks to you, I’d love to create something meaningful together.

Our family had a very good experience getting pictures taken by Iya. From start to finish she was very professional. She was very patient with the little ones and made them feel comfortable during the shoot. We got our photos super quick and absolutely love how they come out. 
Looking forward to our next session.

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.

Our experience with Iya was amazing. The location was beautiful and the pictures are like something straight out of a magazine! She has the ability to capture children in their natural element just being themselves and turn it into a work of art. I would absolutely work with her again!
