Mother’s Day Photo Sessions Celebrating Moms, Moms-to-Be, Grandmas & Mother Figures
Motherhood deserves to be celebrated, not just once, but in all of its seasons. This April and May, Renee Ash Photography is hosting Motherhood Studio Sessions designed to honor moms, moms-to-be, grandmas, and the incredible women who show up as mother figures every single day.
Held in my natural light studio at The Shoppes at Lafayette in Lafayette, NJ, these sessions are soft, meaningful, and beautifully simple, the kind of photos that feel just as special years from now as they do today.

The studio space is bright, airy, and timeless, creating the perfect backdrop for connection-focused portraits. Think neutral tones, gentle light, and room to simply be together without distractions. Whether you’re snuggling your newborn, holding hands with your toddler, or gathering three generations in one frame, the focus is always on emotion and connection.
To make these sessions even more special, each studio session will feature fresh florals by Amy of The Wild Floweress Design Co. Her arrangements bring a soft spring touch that feels elevated yet organic — the perfect complement to motherhood imagery.
April 25 & 26
Motherhood sessions are available as both mini sessions and full sessions, making it easy to choose what works best for your family.
These sessions are intentionally designed to be easy and stress-free, with gentle prompts that encourage natural interaction rather than stiff posing.
One of the most meaningful parts of these sessions is the opportunity to include grandmas and multiple generations. These images become heirlooms — photos your children will look back on and recognize the love that surrounded them.
Whether it’s a grandmother with her daughter and grandchildren, or a group of women who have shaped your life in different ways, these sessions are about honoring the full story of motherhood.

In addition to studio sessions on April 25 & 26, I also offer outdoor Mom & Me sessions and in-home Mom & Me sessions throughout April and May.
These sessions are about documenting the day to day — the little moments that don’t feel big now but mean everything later.
So often, moms are the ones behind the camera. These sessions are your reminder to step into the frame — not perfectly posed, not waiting for “later,” but exactly as you are right now.
Motherhood is layered, emotional, joyful, exhausting, and beautiful. These sessions are here to celebrate all of it.
Motherhood Studio Sessions with Renee Ash Photography take place April 25 & 26 in the Lafayette, NJ studio. Availability is limited, and dates tend to fill quickly.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally document this season — this is it 🤍
