Our CLIENTS have been featured in:
She came with to my house with a car full of awesome props and a heater and most importantly, her positive attitude and patience. My newborn was not cooperative for the first 2 hours of the session, and Sydney made me feel at ease, which eventually helped the baby to calm down and allowed her to capture beautiful photos. I could tell that she really wanted to be here and that she genuinely cared. Also, I unfortunately had to reschedule to a different day at the last minute, and she was extremely accommodating, which helped me so much. I highly recommend Moody Momma and already have told my friends.
I can't say enough about how happy I am with Sydney.

"Sydney is the BEST!!! We had such a great experience with her shooting our maternity pIctures, “fresh 48” and newborn pictures of our baby Skye. She was very patient with us through the several nursing sessions and diaper changes or anything else we needed to soothe our little one during the photo shoot. She brought props to the newborn session that added a nice touch. But most importantly, she works magic with her camera!"
"Our experience was amazing! It just felt perfect!"
