I’ve been capturing this mama daughter duo since the moment she was born. And now this little lady is almost three and full of spark and sass in the best way. It’s that magical age where they're curious about everything, want to do everything themselves, but still need their mama close by for snuggles. This is the age I call “toddler-led sessions” where they basically do the opposite of everything we ask, so instead of asking we just let them take control and explore.

Mini sessions like these are short and sweet, but packed with meaning. You don’t need hours to document the love and connection between you and your babe — just 15–20 minutes of genuine presence and play can create magic.

To my beautiful mama friend: thank you for trusting me to document this chapter (and all the others!). These years go way too fast and I’m so glad you now have this sweet slice of motherhood to hold onto forever.
