Running Wild: A Mommy and Me Session

Some kids just light up a room. This little girl walked into our studio at Garver Feed Mill and owned it from the very first frame. Her mommy and me session was full of personality, laughter, and the kind of energy that makes our job feel effortless.

Letting the Connection Lead

We set up our boho studio space with wicker, warm tones, and a few props, then stepped back. That’s how we like to work with families. Give them a beautiful space, keep things loose, and let the real moments happen on their own. Mom was relaxed. Baby was curious. The combination gave us frame after frame of genuine connection.

The brick wall in our studio catches light in a way that adds depth without competing with the subject. We pulled in close for the quiet moments between mom and baby, and then gave this little one her own spotlight. She was more than happy to take it.

That grin. We live for that grin. Kids this age are unpredictable, and honestly, that’s what makes these sessions so rewarding. You can’t plan a smile like that. You just have to be ready for it.
