Short, Sweet, and Timeless

FOR THE MILESTONES THAT MEAN EVERYTHING

As a Williamsburg Family Photographer, I believe in creating portraits that feel as effortless as they are timeless. For the mother who loves classic portraits but wants something simple and relaxed, Simplicity Sessions offer a gentle introduction to the Dreama Spence Photography experience. These petite sessions focus on the beauty of motherhood and babyhood in their purest form, without wardrobe fittings or extensive planning.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or celebrating one of those sweet milestones—the gummy smiles, the chubby hands, or the first birthday curls—these sessions are designed to preserve those fleeting moments with grace and ease.

Why You’ll Love It

In a season that moves too fast, the Simplicity Session is a thoughtful pause. It is for the mom who longs to feel beautifully seen, not in a whirlwind of styling and planning, but in the soft light of now.

This session honors the here and the now: your growing silhouette, the quiet curl of a baby’s hand, the luminous light on a tender moment. It is intentionally pared back so what remains is nothing but your story, captured with elegance and ease.

The experience may be shorter, but the workmanship is unwavering. Every portrait is crafted with the same refined eye, using gentle light, classic posing, and editing that honors skin tones and the natural beauty of your moment. The result is imagery that belongs on your wall, tucked into your heirloom album, or simply kept close to your heart.

THEY’RE PERFECT FOR: 

  • Expecting mothers seeking a serene, artful maternity portrait that feels genuine and restorative

  • Babies aged 3 months to 1 year, in that golden chapter between newborn days and toddler years

Because even the smallest moments deserve to be held with great care.

Artwork & Digital Images

While many families choose to enjoy their Simplicity Session portraits digitally, the option to turn your images into timeless artwork remains. You’ll have access to my full product line, from handcrafted frames to heirloom prints. 

Because even simple moments deserve to be seen and remembered.

A NOTE FROM DREAMA

So many mothers tell me they want something simple — just a few beautiful portraits of their baby, something to hold onto without all the planning. Simplicity Sessions were created for that very reason: a refined experience that’s easy, lovely, and true to your story.
