Studio Motherhood Session at Cottonwood Collective, Plano

There’s a certain comfort in photographing another mom who’s in the same season, chasing a 19-month-old, balancing the calm and the chaos, savoring every cuddle before it turns into a wiggle in a split second. Her little one is the same age as my daughter, so it felt extra special to capture this fleeting stage for them- the quiet curiosity, gentle touches, and love that shows up in the smallest ways.

We met at Cottonwood Collective Studio in Plano, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite studio spaces in DFW It’s private, peaceful, and has both indoor and outdoor areas filled with gentle light and calm simplicity. For families who love the idea of an indoor space, but don’t want to have their session at home, I now offer the option to add a studio rental to your session. We’re lucky to be spoiled for choice in DFW when it comes to beautiful, versatile studios like this one, and I’m happy to help you find the perfect setting for your family’s story.
