Busy Bee? Here’s Why You Deserve to Be in the Picture

Let me guess: your calendar is jam-packed. You’ve got kids to shuttle, groceries to grab, emails to answer, and somewhere in there—you’re supposed to eat, breathe, and maybe sleep. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

We live in a world that glorifies busy. Especially as women, and especially as moms, we're always in motion. We’re the family CEOs, chauffeurs, snack providers, bedtime story readers, and everything in between. We’re the ultimate Busy Bees.

And while you're buzzing from one thing to the next, do you know what often gets forgotten?

YOU.

You, in the photos.

You, in the memories.

You, in the story.

It’s time to change that.

As a mother and a lifelong photographer, I’ve seen it all. I’ve heard every version of “I’m too busy,” “I’ll book something when things calm down,” or “I just need to lose ten pounds first.” And to that, I say: Nope. Not today, Busy Bee.

Because here’s the truth…

1. Life Doesn’t Slow Down—So Don’t Wait for “Perfect

I get it. You want the house to be cleaner, your hair to be done, or the weather to cooperate. But the thing is, life never slows down for us to catch up.

The toddler years? Gone in a blink.

That high school senior? Off to college before you can exhale.

Your parents? Getting older with every season.

So why wait?

You deserve to be documented in the middle of the mess. In the midst of the noise. Right in the heart of your real, beautiful, buzzing life.

Because that’s the magic.

2. You’re the Glue—Let’s Make Sure You’re Seen

Do you know how many moms I meet who are the memory keepers of their families—but never in the memories themselves?

I always say: You’re the heartbeat of your home.

And your family will want to look back and see you. Smiling. Hugging. Laughing. Present.

Years from now, your kids won’t care if you were wearing your “nice” jeans or yoga pants. They’ll just be so grateful to see you.

3. Quick Sessions, Big Impact

Now I know what you're thinking: “I don’t have time for a big photo shoot, Cheryl.”

Don’t worry—I’ve got you.

I specialize in relaxed, real-life sessions that fit into even the busiest schedule. We’re talking 30 to 60 minutes, max. And trust me, you’ll walk away feeling more grounded, more connected, and wondering why you didn’t do it sooner.

I’ll guide you every step of the way. You don’t need to pose like a supermodel or plan for hours. Just show up—and I’ll do the rest.

4. Seasons Change—Capture Each One

From maternity to newborn, toddlers to teens, family reunions to milestone birthdays… every stage tells a story.

And you know my motto:

"Because every chapter deserves a portrait."

Maybe this is the season of sticky fingers and bedtime chaos. Or maybe it’s quiet morning coffees with your partner while the kids are out living their own lives. Every phase is worthy of being remembered.

Let’s press pause and capture it.

5. You’ll Never Regret the Photos You Did Take

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had clients come back to me and say:

“I wasn’t going to do the shoot, but I’m so glad I did. These photos mean the world to me.”

Or even:

“This is the last photo I have of us together.”

Photography isn’t about perfection—it’s about preservation. It’s about giving yourself and your loved ones the gift of memory, of presence, of love that you can hold in your hands.

.6. This Is About Legacy—Not Just Pretty Pictures

Let’s be real: the selfies we snap on our phones are great in the moment, but they don’t often make it into albums. They live in the cloud, forgotten.

The portraits we take together?

Those become heirlooms.

They get printed, framed, cherished, passed down.

Your great-grandkids will know what your laugh looked like. How your arms felt around their mom. How vibrant you were in this busy, buzzing chapter.

That’s the real treasure.
