Catching Stardust: How to Prepare for a Stress-Free Motherhood Photo Session

At the risk of dating ourselves, we invite you to recall the scene from the 1953 Disney movie, Peter Pan. Nestled around Wendy Darling, the Lost Boys listen, some shedding a tear or two as she sings the lyrics to “Your Mother and Mine,” specifically,

Setting science aside, we love the image of mothers as synonymous with stardust. Mothers are magical, there’s no doubt about it; however, as we shared in our recent blog post, many of them fade to the background, rather than burn brightly as the center of attention.
