Valerie Richer Photography

Never know where to start with this family.

They’re amazing.

They will always have a special place in my heart because they were one of the firsts to hire me when I went from I’m doing photography as a side hustle to I’m gonna take the scary leap and do this full time.

Their son was a baby.

A baby.

Seriously, seeing them year after year is a gift.

To all the mamas 💐

Who came to play with their kiddos in the studio that day.

Who ask me to take photos of their families all year round.

Who carry and grow their babies for 9 months while cherishing it, but also feeling tired and uncomfortable, dealing with the discomfort because you know it’ll be all worth it.

Who work tirelessly to make sure their little ones have everything they need and know how much they are loved.

Who run on coffee, tea, Friday-glass-of-wines, vents to their best friends, runs in the park, yoga sessions, good books — just for a little while.

Who love their families more than anything in the world.

You work so hard and do everything it takes. You are amazing. You are seen. And you are loved right back.

Happy Mother’s Day ❤️
