Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event

WOW! What an amazing day this ended up being! How do I even begin to share about it with you? Well, let me start by giving special shout outs to those who helped make this day possible. We had the pleasure of working with Kristen from Unfading Beauty by Kristen. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful she is to work with AND how talented she is at what she does! Just spectacular! Another special shoutout to my girl Miss Jacque who was in charge of childcare for the day and not only played with all the kiddos, but also helped with getting dressed for pictures and diaper changes! She is the best!! I can't share on this day and not give a shout out to Valerie of Sew Trendy Accessories who designs and creates all of these beautiful gowns!

First, let me share some behind the scenes of Kristen in action!

 

MOMMY & MASON

"She made it effortless! I walked in, picked my gown, sat down and got pampered with hair and make up, which by the way, I loved the make up artist! She truly made me feel beautiful. Then once it came to pictures, I had to hold back tears, because I could already envision the outcome of the photos and knew that Angie was capturing the magic that I felt! The slideshow was a perfect introduction to them!!! I had such anticipation for them and it was such a Special moment for me. I wasn't in Mason's newborn photos which I incredibly regret, and the bond that you can see in these photos have definitely filled the void of not having photos of the bond between newborn photos. I had been looking forward to this event forever, and had been talking about it to friends family and co workers and Angie had truly touched my heart in capturing these beautiful photos and moments of my best bud and I, thank you again!"    -Angilee

 

 

MOMMY & FINNEGAN

"I loved this event.  Even though Finn was unhappy everyone was so helpful in doing whatever they could to comfort him. Everyone was so friendly and enjoying the event.  I am so glad I did this. These pictures will always be a part of my family now! *tears*"    -Emily

 

 

MOMMY, SYDNEY & SAMUEL

"It felt good to allow myself to get a little pampered and look pretty for the mommy and me event. Initially I was hesitant to participate, but I'm so glad I decided to do it! The beautiful moments Angie captured between me and my two children is something I'll always treasure. The funny thing is I felt like that kids weren't even cooperating for the photoshoot, but the end result proved otherwise! Thank you, Angie!"    -Holly

 

 

MOMMY & HER GIRLS

"Loved the event. It went smooth in my opinion. When I got there I didn't mind waiting and enjoyed talking with other mommas. I loved hair and makeup. {When I saw the pictures,} I cried. To see how beautiful I looked in them along with how my daughters look at me. {What did this event mean to me?} It meant that for those two hours and even into the night I felt like a princess! And I got to see the way my daughters look at me when I don't normally see that."     -Jen

 

 

MOMMY & JUDE

"This event was a beautiful day set aside to cherish motherhood and capture the beauty of the mother-child bond! It was extra special to me as it was the last day I had on maternity leave."     -Jenna

 

 

MOMMY & WADE

"I was nervous about Wade in front of the camera since he is such a busy boy now at 6 months but Angie was perfect with him! I really loved that the time overlapped so we could share in the experience with other Moms, even if we didn't know each other, the energy was amazing. {At the order appointment, I was} Amazed! I was so glad to have such a beautiful experience and pictures to remember it by. It also meant a lot to my family to share in the ordering appointment."     -Jessica

 

 

MOMMY & KEANA

"{When I first saw the event, I was} Super excited!!! It's been too long since I had a session with my daughter and this was the PERFECT opportunity for not only updated pictures, but also, a day of mommy pampering that I have never had!! {At the order appointment,} I teared up, of course! There wasn't one photo that I didn't like!! Not only did I feel as if I looked beautiful with my hair and makeup done, but my daughter looked gorgeous and so grown up!! Sometimes I forget to just take a minute to really look at her among the daily chaos that takes place, so to stop and really see her in these images just made me realize how much of a little lady she is becoming and my heart was so happy. {What did this event mean to me?} Everything. It really puts into perspective the joys of being a mom and the special moments that you often forget to see or fail to see among the stress that a busy life can bring. Nothing means more to me than seeing the way my daughter looks at me captured in a photo. The sense of reassurance that of all the things I do wrong as a mom and all mistakes I make, she still sees me as this perfect human being who she looks up to and loves no matter what."     -Lisa

 

 

 

When I asked the moms what they would say to someone contemplating booking a spot at the next event, this is what they had to say:

"Don't hesitate, you won't be sorry!!" -Jessica

"This is well worth the investment! Something that you can cherish with your little ones forever." -Angilee

"Book now! You will cherish these photos forever!" -Jenna

"Just do it. You will not regret it at all." -Jen

"Do it. A million times over, do it. Take advantage of a chance to feel beautiful, look beautiful and see your children light up when they look at you." -Lisa

"Do this! It's a bit pricey for a lot if people but it will be something that you can treasure forever." -Emily
