Loving on my babies
Before every session I ask my mamas "Ok, you say to yourself, 'I've got a session with Mae Burke, I need to make sure I have *this* picture.' Now, what comes to mind?" Over the years the responses I've received have changed from "Well there's this one I saw on Pinterest" to "...Just me loving on my babies!" It means something different to every single mom, but somehow universally the same.
Excited to keep shooting in today's soft grey skies and surging tides
Fosters on the Bay
Wrapping up my summer with this gorgeous little family was just what I needed. I shot Samantha's maternity session last December and have been anxiously awaiting to get her new little nugget in front of my lens.
They are genuine, funny, (resilient parenting) people and I am so excited to get to watch their family grow.

















Remember DFW & Austin, I'll be headed your way in October and December! I have two sessions for Austin left and ONE DFW session left. More info here.
Maybe She's a Wildflower




My oldest, the one who made me a mama turns five in less than a month. The young woman that she is growing to be - one that seeks to be obedient to her parents and Lord, one that is kind and girly and full of wonder - makes my heart ache with joy. Oh my little wildflower, I love you so.
