San Jose Motherhood Session photographed by Allison Menke
We’ve all seen those memes about “photos I take of my husband with our kids vs photos he takes of me” right? And I’d say most of us can relate. We take countless beautiful photos of our children and spouses, but rarely get to be in the photos as mothers. I love family photos, but recently I’ve also grown to love motherhood photos just as much! A motherhood session allows you the time and space to interact with your children in an artful setting where I can capture all those moments for you, forever. Motherhood is so sacred. Let’s preserve this time, together.












The San Jose Rose Garden is the perfect backdrop for a motherhood session. Rows and rows of blooms in all colors transport you and your little ones into a world of enchantment ready to explore. A perfect blend of natural beauty and a diverse range of textures and colors provide the ideal setting for a timeless and dreamy motherhood session.
Let me guide you through the whole process—from creating a personalized style board for you and your littles to selecting the perfect location to directing you through natural moments to create heirloom photos you’ll treasure forever—I’ll make the process easy and fun!
