Moms are too often the unsung heroes of family documentation—always behind the camera, rarely in the frame. As a mother of two myself, I know firsthand that it's nearly impossible to capture the perfect selfie with my girls, or worse yet, set up a picture-perfect shot only to have my husband crop out my head or photograph me mid-sentence as I'm "art-directing." This is where Motherhood Portraits swoops in to save the day! These pop-up sessions are short in duration, yet rich in meaning—and with over 10 years experience photographing little ones, I guarantee a final gallery of photos that will undoubtedly melt your heart and make it to that coveted spot on the mantle.
Each shoot includes fifteen (painless!) minutes in front of the camera with your kiddos, and results in 15 edited hi-res photos that you can download and keep forever. I photograph you in soft and flattering natural light, I don't require anyone to sit and say cheese, and I have a host of tricks up my sleeve to ease even the most camera-shy babe. The ultimate goal is finding natural, love-filled moments and preserving memories that are anything but staged. Moms, it's high time you treat yourself to some time in front of the lens—you and your children will treasure these gifts for years to come, and dare I say you'll have some serious fun in the process!
The nitty gritty
All sessions are $675 and payment must be received up front in order to confirm your booking. Images will be delivered via an emailed invite to your own personal, password-protected gallery within two weeks of the pop-up. You’ll also receive a parting gift bag with goodies to make you feel extra special—because who doesn’t love SWAG?
Also, let’s not forget to talk about cancellation policies! Should something come up (a sick kiddo, a family conflict, etc), I totally get it—nothing is set in stone when little ones are in the mix! Unfortunately at this time, we're unable to offer refunds once a session is booked. That being said, you are more than welcome to transfer your time slot to a friend and take care of the transaction yourself—just email me at nickisebastian[at]gmail[dot]com to let me know in advance so I know who to expect!
The next Motherhood Portraits Pop-Up will take place on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at Apex Studios in Downtown LA. Follow @motherhoodportraits on Instagram for more info on where and how to sign up—and mark your calendars too, as spots tend to get snapped up quickly! Yay for proof of our existence!
