Why You Deserve A Postpartum Photoshoot

Motherhood - a journey that forever changes you from the inside out. As a woman, there is nothing quite like the experience of carrying and birthing a child. It is an incredible journey full of joy, wonder, and love, but also one that can be wrought with all sorts of emotions. It is okay to not feel like yourself in the months or even years after giving birth.

The reality is, becoming a mother is a metamorphosis, a transformation that is as beautiful as it is challenging. It's normal to feel like you have lost yourself in the process of becoming a mother, but the truth is, you are simply growing into a new version of yourself.

You may feel like you don't recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror. Your body has changed, and so too has your identity. But know this - the woman you were before motherhood is still there, and she has grown into an even stronger, more resilient version of herself.

It's okay to feel overwhelmed, to feel like you're not doing enough, or to feel like you're not enough. But know that every challenge you face is molding you into the incredible mother that your child needs. Your strength, your perseverance, your love - these are the qualities that will guide you through the ups and downs of motherhood.

So, remind yourself of who you were and who you have become by entering motherhood. Embrace this journey, and know that every step, every moment, is a part of the beautiful story that is your life.

MOTHERHOOD

“Becoming a mom involves a lot of changes. Those changes can cause you to forget yourself as you navigate the care of a child. I didn’t realize that I was operating on auto pilot until I took a moment to get photos done. From the makeup session to the actual shoot, I was reminded of who I was outside of parenthood. It was what I needed at that exact moment. I’m glad I pushed through and kept this promise to myself.” — Mrs. R
