Celebrating Motherhood, Milestones & Memories

As spring warms into summer, May is a month full of life, love, and new beginnings. At Lisa Foy Photography, May is a celebration of the moments that matter most—from tiny newborn fingers curled in sleep to toddlers giggling through their very first cake smash. Each session this month has been filled with heartfelt emotion, laughter, and timeless memories captured in beautiful detail.

Honoring the Heart of the Home: Motherhood

With Mother’s Day in May, this month naturally focused on celebrating the beauty, strength, and tenderness of motherhood. From quiet “Just You + Baby” sessions that highlight the profound bond between mother and child, to heartfelt messages of gratitude for every mom I’ve photographed—this was a time to slow down and honor the incredible women raising the next generation.

There’s something magical about capturing that tender connection—a glance, a snuggle, a quiet smile. These portraits go beyond the frame. They become cherished heirlooms, frozen moments of love that grow more precious with time.

First Birthdays + Sweet Celebrations

May also marked a busy time for milestone sessions, especially for those little ones turning ONE this summer! My Smash + Splash sessions are always full of personality, custom styling, and joyful messes—because there’s nothing quite like the delight of a baby digging into their first cake (followed by a bubbly splash to clean up!).

From set design to wardrobe, everything is crafted to reflect your little one’s unique spirit. These aren’t just photos—they’re keepsakes of who they are at this wonderful, one-of-a-kind stage.

A Full-Service Experience: From Styling to Sentiment

This month, I’ve loved sharing more behind-the-scenes glimpses of what makes the Lisa Foy Photography experience so special. Every client receives styling assistance, full access to the curated client closet, and a stress-free studio atmosphere designed to make you feel completely at ease. Whether you’re celebrating a new arrival, a growing family, or just want to freeze time for a little while—I’m here to help you look and feel your best.

Soft pastels and gentle neutrals continue to be favorites for both newborn and family sessions, and my cozy studio is always evolving with new props, florals, and textures to create something uniquely yours.

FAQs & Thoughtful Planning

One of the most common questions I hear? “When should I book my newborn session?”
The answer: ideally before baby arrives, in your second or early third trimester. This allows us to tentatively reserve a spot and adjust based on baby’s actual arrival. And the best time to photograph your newborn? Between 5–14 days old—when they’re still in that dreamy, curled-up phase.

If you’re expecting, now’s the perfect time to reach out. I’ll guide you through every step, from prep to prints.

Remembering the Why

Every photo I take is more than just a pretty picture—it’s a promise to preserve your most meaningful moments. A yawn from a newborn. A mom’s teary-eyed smile. A family wrapped in sunshine and laughter. These images become part of your story, your legacy.

As we closed out the month with Memorial Day, we also took a moment to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom. It was a heartfelt reminder of the importance of family, memories, and gratitude.
