Mother's Day is just around the corner.....

Alright moms.... how many pictures do you have of your children...ahem... with YOU in them?  When was the last time that you were in a  picture with your children?  I know, I know.... I hear you making all those excuses and thinking it's no big deal.... at least you take pictures of your kids, right?  

But think about this.... how many pictures do you have of you as a child with your own mother?  Probably not as many as you wish you had, right?  And when your kids grow up and look back... are they going to wish they had more pictures of themselves with you in them?  Of course they will... they will want those memories of you as much as you want them.  

I hear the excuses now.... "When I lose a few more pounds."  "When my awful haircut grows out"  "When I'm thinner.... or tanner... or have a better wardrobe.... when I get more sleep at night...."  Let's face it, mom's.  Its like the old saying with having children.... if you wait until you have more money to have kids, you'll never have kids. 

Well, here is an awesome opportunity for you to capture some moments with you and your little one(s) this year.  Throw away all those excuses, take a moment and capture the love.  This Mother's Day, along with pampering yourself with a manicure, getting your hair done or a new outfit (yes... do it!), make sure you put a Mommy and Me Session with Nicole Barczak Photography on your Must-Have list.

The Busch Family │ Chelsea, Michigan Newborn and Family Photographer

The last time I visited the Busch Family, little Gavin was just 4 months old and Caitlin was 2.5.  I was thrilled when they contacted me to photograph their newest addition... Emma.  She is absolutely precious, just like her doting big sister and brother.

The Tappan Family │ Jackson Michigan Family Photographer

It was a bit chilly the morning of the Tappan's session but they were troopers.  L and H were such well behaved little kiddos.  Shy, but so polite and well behaved.  

I typically am drawn toward black and white photos but not this session.... it just SCREAMS "COLOR" to me.  Their outfits (perfect!) were vibrant and bright and with such a beautiful family, I love these images in color.   

Thank you, Tappans, for enduring the chilly, windy alleys of J-Town.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
