BEAUTY PORTRAITs | Tulsa Photographer

Just in time for Mother's Day, I'm excited to introduce something new...a Gift Certificate for her BEAUTY PORTRAITs by M.M.Photography. Limited number of spots, call today to reserve a spot or for more details. Gift Certificates will be available for pickup within the week. Sessions will be scheduled throughout the summer.

“BEAUTY PORTRAITS" is a contemporary style of photography geared towards women, and this month, especially for moms,because at the end of the day who is the last person mom tends to? HERSELF. That's right...I'm a mom of four, I know. I remember the days when I had the time to make myself look and feel pretty, [if you are a mom reading this] do you? However, somewhere along the journey of being a mom, your focus changes, and the responsibilities expand, and no longer is there time for the "ME" of a mom. Our time is spent caring for our children, loving on our children, helping with homework, making grocery lists, and meal plans, grocery shopping, driving kids from from here to there and back here again, preparing meals, doing endless loads of laundry, folding laundry and putting it all away, kissing boo boos,keeping the peace between the kids who seem to argue endlessly...and the list goes on and on. ...And we do this day in and day out, because at the end of the day when, in my case, my three year old leans over to me and says "mom, i got a secret...I love you mom, you are my best friend", or my 20 month plants a wet kiss on my cheek, or my 5 year old says "mom, I love you", or my 7 year old says "mom, I got the best surprise for you..." and wrapping her arms tightly around me whispers in my ear "it's just a hug'" I'm reminded that THIS is important, and that I'm doing something right. However, I am a woman and I like to look and feel pretty at times. Some days I look in the mirror and I'm surprised at the woman staring back at me...I've become a stranger to my own reflection. dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles quietly settling in around my eyes and my mouth, white blending in with my dark brown hair. Beauty is not in the hair and the makeup, beauty is within... The hair and makeup helps us FEEL pretty. Feeling pretty gives us confidence. Feeling pretty empowers us to be bold. Feeling pretty helps us to project our inner beauty outward.

BEAUTY PORTRAITS by M.M.Photography is an experience. A time for YOU [MOM]. Time to look and feel pretty so that your images capture and reflect your beauty. Beautiful images of YOU not because of the makeup and the hair, but because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Image above: Make up by Dawn Westmoreland.

Baby is ONE | Tulsa Children's Photography

This little girl was a delight. No morning nap and a full late morning of photos, she must have been worn out when they headed out; but you wouldn't have guessed it by her demeanor. She was fun, and very cooperative--now if all ONE year old were that way!! AH, life as a children's photographer would be easy!! Don't get me wrong ALL one year olds are FUN...it's the cooperation that is not consistent across the board!

BE-ing super duper cute
