Box Sessions Coming Soon

Box sessions are being offered in January and February at our gorgeous natural light studio as add-ons to our stunning natural light portraits. They're a great way to frame you and your family in different seasons while emphasizing hobbies, interests, and themes.

Benefits: extra staff for a stress-free fun shoot, a wardrobe change, and a 12 x 12 inch canvas print of the collaged box session (plus the usual gallery filled with individual perfectly edited images to print or share and cherish forever!)

Let us know at http://mudpiesnbutterfliesstudios.com/contact that you'd like to set up one of these sessions for you, your littles, or your family!

A Citrus Session with my "Main Squeeze"

We are all mamas at the Mudpies N’ Butterflies Studios, and of course, have millions of ideas of images to create with our own children. While we have high hopes, you can imagine how it goes, we never get it all accomplished. One of our visions was to create a simple yet sweet citrus bath session with our newest addition, my “main squeeze.” Grapefruits, oranges, and lemons combined with this little one’s squishy rolls, dark, curly hair, and gummy smiles made this session beyond sweet. Grateful that my fellow photographer mamas made me snuggle in the tub with her for a few (we so often forget to get anything other than selfies with us in it). Below are a few of my faves from the session. ♥Mandy

Don't Blink: Sounds Cliche, but Don't

Don't Blink: Sounds Cliche, but Don't

 

Wrinkly toes turn to big gummy laughs that turn to  wobbly steps with chubby little  cheeks that turn to grass stained knees that turn to shorter and shorter lived snuggles that turn to sweaty sports uniforms or  gym Socks that turns into car keys hanging from their pockets. 

When people say don't blink...it's for real. don't blink sounds cliche but I'm here as a  "mom or many" or mominator as my teens tease... I'm a mama of adult children and all ages in between.  One minute your smelling a freshly bathed toddler who wants a bedtime story and the next your pacing halls because it's close to curfew.   

You will triumph in parenting and you will fail....but one things for sure whether we blink or not : they grow up. Nobody ever regrets freezing moments in time by capturing images. 

We will capture it, let Mudpies freeze all this in a unique way with images of everything that is THEM.  

Here's some images recently from an adorable little boy whose mama says we captured him perfectly, natural smiles and with all things he adores.

A sneak peek into our Natural Light studio

We welcomed this little beauty into our new, natural light studio! The 18 floor to ceiling windows allowed for amazing natural light to shine in and captured each smile from this little cutie, perfectly! We are currently booking holiday sessions in our newnatural light studio, as well, so contact us today to schedule! Check out some fun portraits in this sneak peek below, this has been a year long project and we are so happy with the end result and know you will love a session in this bright cheery space

How do you eat your Christmas cookies?

Well ..by the handfuls with lots of crumbs, cuddles and hysterical moments of course! How many people can we fit onto one vintage iron bed? ALOT and  how many cookies can we eat? ( 8 dozen to be exact 😂🤣)

  Mudpies N Butterflies couldn't be more blessed! We made some new friends and welcomed life long clients into the studios, thank you for  trusting us with your holiday memories! So many awesome canvases that were included with these sessions were delivered as gifts,  so although we started these way back in the early fall...our lips were sealed (haha we noticed many of our families could not wait and posted for all to see anyway!) and we LOVED seeing your adorable and creative holiday cards too! Although we love PJs pictures year round our Farmhouse Christmas Cookie sessions are all wrapped up! Multiple sets worked out lovely to get the best of both styles in one session and gave everyone a variety.

Santa coming to Mudpies Dover Studio location was the BEST idea our little elves have had!  Ofcourse Santa knew each child by name, it was really magical! The special part was- that everyone got to experience the true meaning of the season and gift children need with a brand new toys. Over 150 children were able to open up new gifts because of this toy drive and the Mudpies Squad was thrilled to so many familiar faces and ofcourse had so much fun photographing the Magic. We would love to make this one of our many yearly community service projects. As our motto is and will always be 

Serve.Love.Capture

 Our hearts are so full and ready to kick off an awesome 2019, please join us!
