Mother's Day Mommy and Me Mini Sessions in Cincinnati: Three Sets, Three Vibes, One Amazing Experience

Moms. I need your attention for a second.

When was the last time you were in a photo with your kid that wasn't a selfie? When was the last time someone captured the two of you together in a way that actually looked intentional and beautiful and not like you handed your phone to your partner and said "just take it real quick"?

I'm guessing it's been a while. And that needs to change.

I'm Jess at Say Yes to Jess in Cincinnati and I'm doing something special for Mother's Day this year. Mommy and Me mini sessions with THREE completely different custom-built sets so you can pick the one that matches your vibe. Whether you're a soft and classic mom, a punk rock edgy mom, or a moody and artistic mom, I've got a set for you.

These are limited spots so keep reading and then DM me before they fill up.

The Three Sets

I built all three of these by hand in my studio because I wanted to give moms real options that actually feel like THEM, not just one generic pastel setup that every photographer in town is doing.

Set 1: The Classic Arch

A white arched doorway with lush floral arrangements along the bottom. Clean, bright, timeless, and absolutely stunning. This is the set for moms who love a classic, elegant look. The kind of photo that belongs in a frame on the mantle. The white backdrop lets you and your kid be the focus while the florals add just enough softness and beauty to make every image look like it came out of a magazine.

This set works beautifully for moms with kids of any age. Toddlers sitting in front of the arch surrounded by flowers? Gorgeous. Your 8-year-old standing next to you in a coordinated outfit? Timeless. Even teenagers will look amazing here.

Set 2: The Punk Rock Mom

Black and white checkerboard walls and floor. Bold. Graphic. Cool. This is the set for the moms who don't do soft and pastel. The moms who wear combat boots and band tees. The moms whose kids think they're the coolest person alive (because they are).

This set is giving retro, edgy, and unapologetically fun. Throw on your favorite outfit, grab your kid, and let's make some photos that look like nothing anyone else has. If you've ever looked at standard mommy and me photos and thought "that's cute but it's not me," this set was literally built for you.

Set 3: The Dark Floral Frame

This one is art. An all-black backdrop with a gold frame and cascading flowers spilling out of the sides like a painting coming to life. Moody, dramatic, absolutely breathtaking.

This set is for the mom who loves fine art vibes. Dark and romantic. Dramatic lighting. The kind of photos that make people stop and stare and ask "who took THAT?" If you want mommy and me photos that feel editorial and gallery-worthy, this is your set.

Fair warning: this set is going to be the most popular one. It's absolutely stunning and there's nothing else like it in Cincinnati.

Who Are These For?

You and your baby. Tiny humans in flower setups? Nothing cuter on this planet.

You and your toddler. They're going to want to touch everything and that's totally fine. Some of the best photos happen when little hands are grabbing flowers.

You and your big kid. These sessions aren't just for moms with babies. Your 6-year-old, your 10-year-old, even your teenager. These moments matter at every age.

You and ALL your kids. Want to bring the whole crew? Let's do it. The more the merrier.

Grandma and the grandkids. Mother's Day isn't just for moms of little ones. If grandma wants in on this, she's absolutely welcome.

Just you. Not a mom? Don't have kids with you that day? These sets are gorgeous and you're welcome to book one just for yourself. Especially that dark floral frame. Come on.

Pet? Yes, bring them along too!

This Makes an Incredible Gift

Not sure what to get Mom for Mother's Day? This is it.

Book a session for her. Book a session WITH her. Buy a gift certificate and let her pick her own date. Surprise grandma with a session with the grandkids. Whatever version of this makes sense for your family, it's the kind of gift that turns into something she keeps forever.

A framed photo of her and her kids from this session is going to mean more than anything you could buy at a store. I promise you that.

Why These Aren't Your Standard Mini Sessions

I build my sets from scratch. The arch with the florals, the checkerboard room, the dark floral frame with cascading flowers. All of it is custom built by hand in my studio. You're not going to find these setups anywhere else.

I also direct you the entire time. You don't need to figure out how to pose with a wiggly toddler on your hip. I tell you where to stand, where to look, how to hold your kid, everything. You just show up and be a mom. I'll make it look incredible.

And here's the thing about mommy and me sessions: they're not really about the photos. They're about your kid being able to look at a photo of you together 20 years from now and see how much you loved them. That's what we're capturing. The love. The connection. The real stuff.
