To all the incredible moms I’ve had the honor of photographing—this post is for you. Motherhood is messy, beautiful, exhausting, and unbelievably rewarding. It’s the quiet moments—rocking a sleepy baby in the early hours, wiping away tears with gentle hands, packing lunches, and showing up every single day—that often go unnoticed.  I’ve watched first-time moms softly cradle their newborns, unsure and completely in love. I’ve laughed with seasoned mamas chasing toddlers around the studio or wiping noses between smiles. I’ve captured the pride in your eyes as you watch your babies grow—milestone by milestone. And every time, I’m reminded how powerful and beautiful motherhood really is.  Thank you for trusting me with your memories. For stepping in front of the camera even when you don’t feel picture-perfect. One day, your children will look back at these photos and see the love in your eyes—the comfort, the strength, and the warmth that only a mother can give. That’s the real magic.  Today, I hope you feel celebrated. I hope you slow down, even just for a moment, and feel proud of everything you are. From the bottom of my heart—Happy Mother’s Day. 💕 With love, Jessica Maness

Kylie came to visit me in the studio, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect little model! At just 6lbs 12oz, she was so tiny and reminded me so much of my youngest, who was the same size.
One of the highlights of this session was incorporating a special touch—a bow that I made myself! Bows are all the rage right now, and I’ve been excited to add some handmade pieces to my collection of props. I am so glad I got to bring my vision to life with this perfect model.
I always strive to make each session unique and personal, whether it’s through custom props, colors, or themes that reflect my clients’ preferences. Kylie’s session was no exception.
Kylie’s mom shared with me that she had been turned away by other photographers because they said Kylie was “too old” for a newborn session. That breaks my heart because I believe every baby deserves to have these precious moments captured, no matter their age. I never put an age limit on my newborn sessions—older babies can do just as well, and sometimes even better, than those in the 2 week range. Kylie was proof of that as she rocked her session like a pro!
Newborn sessions like these remind me why I love what I do—capturing these fleeting moments for families to cherish forever. Thank you, Kylie’s family, for trusting me with your precious little one! |
