Dear Mom, It’s Time to Get in the Picture — and Love the Way You Look | by Tate Smith
You’re the one always behind the camera.
Snapping your kids’ sweet smiles, the messy moments, the milestones. But when you flip through your photo gallery, you realize you’re barely in them — and if you are, it’s often not a photo you love.
Maybe your posture felt off. Maybe no one fixed your hair. Maybe no one told you how stunning you looked in the moment.
Mama, that ends now.
As a DFW family photographer and a fellow mom, I’m here to make sure you don’t just end up in a few okay photos — you walk away with an entire collection that makes you feel seen, beautiful, and confident.
You Deserve to Be in the Photos
Your presence matters. Your love, your laughter, your connection with your family — all of it deserves to be captured. But so often, moms hide from the camera or feel disappointed when they finally get in front of it.
That’s where I come in. I guide you gently through each pose, making sure you feel comfortable, natural, and gorgeous from every angle. From adjusting your posture to smoothing out flyaways, I’ve got your back — literally.
Custom Styling That Makes You Feel Amazing
Worried about what to wear? I offer complimentary styling support for the whole family. From colors that flatter your skin tone to outfits that flow beautifully on camera, I help you make confident choices that photograph like a dream.
When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows. And that confidence? It becomes part of the magic in every image.
From Invisible to Irreplaceable
Let this be the session where you don’t just document the people you love — you get to be in it. Centered. Celebrated. Captured with care.
You don’t need to lose weight, change your hair, or “fix” anything to deserve beautiful photos. You just need someone who sees you — and knows how to capture the real joy you bring to your family.
And that’s exactly what I do.
Let’s Make You the Heart of the Story
If you’re in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and ready to step into the frame with confidence, I’d be honored to be your photographer.
