Mommy & Me Sessions

Hey Moms, This One's For YOU!


In the world of Three Chickadees Photography, moments aren't just captured; they're cherished. Amanda Rae, the creative soul behind the lens, understands the profound significance of freezing time in a photograph. But there's one aspect she feels passionately about that often gets overlooked: moms getting in front of the camera with their children.

In Bartlett, TN, where life moves at its own rhythm, my lens serves as a conduit for preserving memories. As a mother myself, I knows firsthand the inclination to shy away from being in photographs. Moms, overwhelmed with the responsibilities of everyday life, often find themselves behind the scenes, capturing every milestone of their children while inadvertently avoiding the spotlight.

Yet, in the rush of parenthood, there's a silent narrative unfolding—one where mothers unintentionally fade into the background of their family's memories. I recognize this tendency and advocates for a shift in perspective. I believe that moms should not only be the architects of these cherished moments but also active participants, immortalized alongside their children.

Family photographs serve as visual narratives, preserving not only individual moments but also the essence of familial bonds. When moms are absent from these images, an integral part of the story remains untold.

In a society that often places unrealistic standards on mothers, being photographed can bolster self-esteem. Seeing themselves through the lens of love and admiration from their children can be a powerful affirmation of their worth.

For children, photographs are tangible reminders of the love and warmth shared within the family unit. When moms are present in these images, they become immortalized as symbols of affection and security.

By stepping in front of the camera, moms set a precedent for their children. They teach them the importance of self-love, acceptance, and the value of capturing moments with loved ones.

My message resonates beyond the realms of photography studios; it's a call to action for mothers everywhere. It's an invitation to embrace vulnerability, celebrate imperfections, and honor the beauty of the everyday. Through my lens, I not only captures images but also cultivates a culture of self-love and familial connection.

So, to all the moms out there in Bartlett, TN, and beyond, my message is clear: don't shy away from the camera. Embrace the opportunity to create lasting memories with your children, for these moments are precious, and you deserve to be a part of them.

Let's capture not just moments, but memories. Together.
