If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a mom combines her love language (martinis) with her favorite pastime (golf) and her favorite people (her kids)… well, you’re about to find out.
This was not your typical “everyone wear neutrals and smile sweetly in the field” type of family session. Nope — this was a golf-course-meets-old money-girl-energy kind of day.
Set on the perfectly green course in Maumelle, Arkansas, this Little Rock family brought the birdies, bogeys, and big mood.
A Different Kind of Family Portrait
Most moms bring snacks to family photos.
This mom brought a martini shaker.
While her kids practiced their swings, she sipped.
High heels sat next to golf tees, sunglasses doubled as attitude, and the dress code – well, think “old money” meets “new money.”
Forget “say cheese.”
We were saying “cheers.” 🍸
Golf Clichés We Totally Leaned Into (and Twisted)
-
Because every mom deserves a par-fect moment to herself.
-
It’s not a golf ball, it’s a golden sphere of chaos and joy.
-
Who needs a caddy when you have two kids and a cocktail?
-
We might’ve missed the putt… but we didn’t miss the point: motherhood is wild, funny, and full of grit.
Why This Session Worked
It’s easy to take beautiful pictures of beautiful people.
It’s harder — and way more fun — to take pictures that tell a story.
This shoot wasn’t about perfection; it was about personality.
Unscripted moments.
A little sass.
And the kind of connection you only get when everyone’s having fun — from mom to mini.
It was badass, elegant, and unapologetically real.
Because that’s what motherhood looks like when you stop trying to be like everyone else and do what means most to you and your family.
Thinking Outside the Tee Box
If you’re searching for a Little Rock Arkansas photographer who loves breaking the “family photo” rulebook — hi, that’s me 👋
Whether you want to sip martinis on a golf course, splash in the river, or have your kids chase chickens barefoot in the backyard — I’m all for it.
Because motherhood deserves to be remembered exactly as it feels: bold, messy, beautiful, and perfectly you.
