Capturing Hearts, Not Perfection: The Essence of Motherhood Photography

Hey there, lovely souls!

I’m sitting here sipping coffee, editing sessions during this busy season, and thinking about a topic that’s so close to my heart: the magic of capturing moments that speak of love, not perfection.

In this fast-paced world where filters and Photoshop can make us believe that perfection is the ultimate goal, I’m here to tell you that in the world of motherhood photography, perfection takes a back seat to something far more beautiful—connection.

As I cradle my camera and step into your world, it’s not about stiff poses, perfectly coordinated outfits, or unblemished backgrounds. It’s about those unscripted, real moments. The way your newborn fits perfectly in your arms, the twinkle in your child’s eye when they see their favorite toy, or the gentle touch you share with your partner as you await the arrival of a new family member.

My lens captures the essence of your unique story. It’s in the warmth of your embrace, the gleam of joy in your eyes, and the raw emotions that can’t be manufactured. Because what makes your family beautiful is the love, the bonds, and the shared experiences that define your journey.

Life isn’t always a picture-perfect Instagram post.
It’s the candid laughter, the comforting hugs, and the messy, unfiltered moments that shape us.
And that’s what I strive to capture, to frame, and to preserve for you.

Being a mom, a photographer, and a believer in God’s plan, I find my purpose in connecting with you and celebrating the precious moments that God has blessed you with.

So, my dear friends, let’s celebrate the beauty of imperfection, the art of connection, and the magic of the here and now.
Remember, the most cherished photographs are not the ones with flawless smiles, but the ones that tell stories of love, growth, and togetherness.

Here’s to capturing the genuine, the heartfelt, and the real.

With love and gratitude,

Julie Sheriff Photography

How I Take the Stress Out of Finding Outfits.

I’ve already done the work for you. |

My client wardrobe is filled with beautiful, timeless pieces that are ready for you to wear. 

How do you feel about borrowing from a studio wardrobe? Do you prefer to bring your own? or just show up in your yoga pants and decide the day of your session?

My Complimentary Maternity (aka: Newborn Orientation) sessions are a way to try on and pick out clothing for your newborn session. 
Making sure you are photographed in what you love, even if it is in your own clothing!
You don't want to find out you dont love what you wore AFTER you've had your newborn session.
One day, you’ll forget how soft their skin felt against yours, how their little fingers played with the hem of your shirt, how their baby curls framed their face. 
But a photograph will bring it all back, as if time never moved at all.
This baby will never know the sound of your heartbeat the way they do right now.
 Let’s capture this connection before they’re in your arms.
You might feel like these days are slipping through your fingers, like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t slow time down. 
But mama, you can pause it. Just for a moment. 
And you’ll be so glad you did.
Have you ever thought about how one day, this baby will ask about the time they were in your belly? 
These photos aren’t just for you—they are for them, too.
