Mom + Daughter Quiet Morning
Photographing an Indianapolis Mom and Daughter as they Start their Day
When I began my journey into more meaningful family photographs, I knew that would mean spending intentional time being present in what may seem like a mundane daily task. If you’ve ever had family photos taken with a baby under one you likely remember that there’s a certain level of unpredictably that accompanies that feat. Leaning into this season of childhood by inviting your average day to be documented can offer a surprising calmness to newborn/infant photos.
Below you’ll find a set of images created in the early morning where mom + daughter spent a quiet start to their day enjoying a bath together. These warm and gentle images are ones sure to be cherished as this mother continues to raise her little girl in their home.
In home sessions immediately offer a sense of sentimental value. Perhaps a shared bath isn’t quite the way you’d choose to have your connection documented — and that’s absolutely okay. For your family dynamic it might look more like you + your partner spending time sitting on your tiled floor while the kiddos entertain themselves with squirt guns and duckies. Maybe it’s spending time in the kitchen while bathing your newborn in the sink? Think to yourself about when you feel the most connected to your family. When are you all most at ease? When do you enjoy each others’ company most? When does time seem to momentarily slow down. Let’s capture THAT. That’s where we’ll uncover the real magic.
After all, these are the years you wish you could keep forever.
