Sara, like many moms these days, is a full time working mom trying to balance her work with her children\u2019s schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome days are a little crazier than others, but we make it work. The girls\u2019 dad works crazy hours, leaving before the sun comes up and sometimes working past the \u2018normal working hours,\u2019\u201d she shared with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leaves Sara in charge of not only getting her girls (three-year-old Lily and one-year-old Carter) up and to daycare, but picking them up at the end of the day AND making sure that they all have dinner on the table. In addition, the girls have swimming lessons throughout the year they need to be taken to and picked up from. Oh, and did we mention she works full time? Can you say Super Mom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am thankful to have my husband, who helps around the house, so our girls can have my full attention as needed, and I’m not left with everything\u2026. work, kids, household, etcetera. I am definitely an attachment mommy and do my best navigating their emotions to help them better process what they are feeling,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLily is a full on Mama’s Girl, while Carter is a Daddy’s Girl. We have both girls in swimming lessons throughout the year and we belong to a summer swim club. They are both naturals and love the water. Lily is also showing an interest in gymnastics and loves to ride her bike! Carter is our little funny girl, with so much personality, but is also the love bug, giving hugs and snuggles all of the time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Sara saw our Renaissance of Mom sessions, she thought it was such a cool and unique opportunity to stop and capture her relationship with her girls at this stage in their lives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt just felt like it was something that I wanted to be a part of and the pictures of Erika with her babies was something I haven’t seen offered from other photographers. I am also a breastfeeding mom. At the time I was nursing, (and still am), both girls. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to not only capture these memories for our family, but to show that extended breastfeeding was normal and okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing she says she truly appreciated about her session with her girls was how comfortable and natural she felt, which is such an important ingredient to create authentic images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving done a solo boudoir prior, I know that the studio was a safe place to be yourself. However, my first shoot was with Mike and not Erika, so I wasn’t sure what her style was. When we started I knew right away that Erika was just as wonderful as Mike. I was at ease very quickly, and there were some points that I didn’t have my top on and wasn’t embarrassed, it just felt natural. Overall the whole experience of the Renaissance Mom exceeded my expectations!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
