Mother’s Day is just two weeks away and our Mommy & Me photo shoot fundraiser on May 21st is a great way to gift the moms in your life.  You’ll also be supporting a worthy organization that encourages moms throughout their parenting journey.  

Empowering Moms in a program at Parents in Toto in Zelienople, Pa., with the mission of empowering women to gain confidence as new moms through a validating, diverse, and accepting community setting.  The program manager, Megan, is a friend of mine, and as her friend, I can affirm that she is gifted at helping moms grow in confidence.  I’m pretty open about my struggles as a mom with a young family.  Being a mom isn’t easy and I would have loved to have had a support group like Empowering Moms when my kids were little.  Empowering Moms provides weekly and monthly support groups, guidance in community resources and mentoring and advocacy regarding maternal mental health, developmental and family needs.  If you’re a local mom, you should check it out!

The photo shoot fundraiser, or Inspo Shoot, as I like to call it, will take place in Cranberry Township.  A donation of $75 can be made directly to Empowering Moms (online or by writing a check to Parents in Toto with Empowering Moms Program written in the memo.  The sessions are 20-minutes and can be Mommy & Me sessions or just the kids.  Included with the session is a 5×5 metal print with a wooden stand.  The images above are from a past Mommy & Me photo shoot.  The set this time will be a neutral backdrop (shown below) with a vase of fresh flowers and a variety of seating.  I’m preserving magnolia branches and hoping they make it until then, but if not, I’ll find some other lovely blooms.  I’m excited to create some beautiful photos of mamas and their children!

This May Flowers photo shoot fundraiser is the second project in a series called Inspo Shoots.  The inspired photo shoots are designed to support good causes where participants can make a donation directly to the designated organization in lieu of a session fee.  Last month’s April Showers Inspo Shoot raised funds for Ukraine relief through Samaritan’s Purse.  If you know of a non-profit that you’d like to partner with us in a future Inspo Shoot, please get in touch!
