Let’s be honest: when you ask most moms what they want for Mother’s Day, you get a lot of polite answers.

"Maybe just a quiet morning." "Coffee I didn’t have to make." "A nap? That would be nice."

But buried under all those soft-spoken wishes is one recurring, persistent hope:

"I just want one decent photo of all of us."

Not a blurry phone snap. Not a selfie where she’s half-hidden behind a toddler or holding the dog back. Not one of the 47 attempts taken by a stranger at the park where someone’s always blinking.

Just one real, beautiful, frame-worthy photo where she’s not only in the frame, but looks like herself. One where she’s not the one holding the camera or orchestrating the moment. One where she’s being held, loved, seen.

That shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?

And yet, somehow, it always is.

Motherhood is full of moments spent capturing everyone else. But ask a mom when the last time she was photographed with her kids—and actually loved the result—and you’ll usually get silence, maybe a sigh.

This year, that changes.

Introducing: Just One Photo – Mother’s Day Mini Sessions

I designed these sessions with one very specific goal: to finally give moms what they’ve quietly wanted all along.

Just one photo. One real, beautiful photo of her with the people she loves most.

These aren’t stiff, posed portraits or chaotic, overbooked photo marathons. They’re 15-minute mini sessions held in the most magical spring setting—with a few very intentional details to make it feel like a true gift, not another task on her to-do list.

Here’s why this session is different (and perfect):

1. Private Access to Masker Orchards During Apple Blossom Season

No crowds. No waiting your turn on a crowded trail. No accidental photobombers in the background.

You’ll have exclusive access to a quiet section of Masker Orchards, just as the apple trees hit peak bloom. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Everything will be in full flower—delicate petals drifting in the breeze, soft natural light filtering through the branches. It’s like stepping into a storybook.

And it’s all yours for a little while. Just your family, the blossoms, and me.

2. One-Stop (Thoughtful) Gifting

No need to stress about printing photos or figuring out what to do with digital files. Each session includes a high-quality, matted fine art print of your favorite image, delivered straight to your home.

Yes, straight to your doorstep. Beautifully printed. Ready to frame. No clicking through galleries late at night. No making decisions while trying to remember your Walgreens password. It just arrives, like the most thoughtful gift.

And if you love more than one photo? You’ll have the option to order additional prints or digitals after your session.

3. It’s for Her, But It’s Also for You

These sessions aren’t only about moms being photographed. They’re about slowing down for a moment to see what this season of life actually looks like.

Whether your kids are in the clingy stage, the silly stage, or the rolling-their-eyes stage, this is a moment worth pausing for.

The smiles, the in-between glances, the way everyone fits together. It changes faster than we think. This is one of those gifts that you both enjoy now and treasure later.

4. Short, Sweet, and Actually Enjoyable

Let’s face it, not every family member is excited about a full-on photo shoot. That’s why these are quick, relaxed, and designed to feel like a short walk through the orchard—not a formal appointment.

I’ll gently guide you so you’re never wondering what to do, but there’s no pressure to pose perfectly. Come as you are. Laugh. Snuggle. Let the kids be kids.

I’ll take care of capturing the beauty that’s already there.

This Is More Than Just a Photo Session

It’s a gesture that says:

"I see you."
"You deserve to be in the picture."
"This season of life matters."

Whether you're a partner looking for a meaningful gift, a grown child wanting to surprise your mom, or a mother who knows she deserves to be seen, this is your moment.

Let this be the year the most wished-for Mother’s Day gift actually happens.

That one photo. The one that gets printed. The one that gets framed. The one that becomes a forever favorite.

Spots are very limited.

Once the blossoms are gone, they’re gone until next year.
