to the best mom in the whole world.  I love you.

For Mother’s Day!! Send your family this link – we’re happy to provide gift certificates!

There is nothing like the warm arms of mommy to make a child feel safe and secure – and there is nothing like being able to look back at pictures with mom to feel a history of love and cherishing.  I cherish the photos I have with my mom; its something I feel so very strongly about providing for other moms that I knew I had to offer a special photography session just for moms.

Most moms are never in the family photos (admit it Moms, you like taking the pictures!)  Or wait, perhaps you’re having a bad hair day or those jeans aren’t fitting you this morning…  Whatever the reason, looking back on your family photos, sometimes, it may seem like you’re not there.

Trust me, your child will not care!  When they look back on photos of the two of you, all they will see, with eyes of love, is a mom who was there!

Take advantage of this special to document the love you have for your child (or children!)  Each mother and child session is $395 and includes the sitting and a purse portfolio featuring 10 completely retouched images selected by the artist!

available in a full range of colors!

Images like these are incredible keepsakes for both you and your child(ren) to treasure as your relationship evolves over the years.  Only 10 mother & child sessions will be scheduled between now and the end of March; please email or call the studio to schedule your customized session. Session fee of $395 (plus tax) will be collected to reserve your time and your limited edition purse portfolio with 10 amazing artist’s choice images will be available one week following your session.  Gift prints and wall canvases may be ordered when you pick up your purse portfolio.

Please contact us with any questions, we look forward to beautifully capturing the different facets of your relationship with your children. Contact the studio at 434-384-0138 or email Allegra at info@allegrasstudio.com.

Emily and Alex are celebrating their one year anniversary this week! Congratulations to you two! They enjoyed a rehearsal dinner at the Country Club of Virginia, with the wedding ceremony at First Presbyterian Church on Cary Street and the reception at the Commonwealth Club downtown.  See the original blog post with more images here. 

I especially enjoyed that we were able to stay til the end of the party – something we used to do all the time! After reviewing the past few years of coverage options, we’ve added back an unlimited time collection option! Ask us about it!

To all who celebrate this holiday!
