Motherhood is raw, beautiful, exhausting, and sacred—all at once. At Jessica Elbar Photography, we believe every mom (or dad) deserves to be seen and celebrated. Our NYC motherhood & family photography sessions are designed to honor the strength, love, and legacy of mothers through timeless portraiture.
These sessions aren’t just about photographs—they’re about connection. Whether you’re snuggling your toddler, twirling in a studio gown, or sharing quiet moments with your baby bump, we create space for you to simply be with your children.
Many clients choose to schedule a motherhood session around milestone moments like Mother’s Day, a first birthday, or after completing a maternity or newborn series. You don’t need a reason though. Being a mother is reason enough. If you missed out on newborn portraits and want to still capture your baby, scheduling a motherhood session when your baby is 6-9 months old is most ideal. I personally did a motherhood shoot with both of my children when they were around 9 months old.
We provide a curated wardrobe, styling support, and access to our private studio in the heart of Manhattan. Our goal is to make you feel confident, beautiful, and emotionally connected to the experience. Glam is also offered in some of our collections.
Your portraits will become heirlooms—not just for you, but for your children and grandchildren. A visual legacy of your love.
Bring dad and the siblings! Let’s celebrate the magic of motherhood together.
