Move It, Mama: Fit4Mom Queensbury/Saratoga Grand Opening Class!

I try to keep it together during photoshoots, but this one felt particularly special. Beth originally reached out and asked me to capture the grand opening class of Fit4Mom Queensbury/Saratoga, and I immediately felt a connection with her. Her babies are similar in age to mine, and it feels like our objectives align with one another. When I realized that Kaiser would be out of school during this time, I reached out to Beth to ask if she’d mind that I bring him. Her enthusiastic response made me tear up: she said he was absolutely welcome, and that he could ride in her double stroller with her own son! What a deeply kind thing to do, from one mama business owner to another. It felt so meant to be that we connected and acted as a true village today, helping each other take care of the kiddos while she conducted her grand opening class for Fit4Mom Queensbury/Saratoga, and I captured it for her.

The weather was questionable, as it always is, and we lucked out to arrive to Hovey Pond Park in Queensbury, NY to lightly cloudy skies that burst with sunlight sporadically throughout the class. Kaiser hit it off with Parker, Beth’s son, immediately, and they bonded over their joint love of firetrucks while Beth’s mom so kindly strolled him through the class.

You could feel the beautiful mama energy as everyone greeted each other warmly, helped open pouches for other kiddos, and high fived each other as they went through the class itself. It literally brought tears to my eyes; there is something deeply special about mama camaraderie that happens when we join together to become a village and support each other. The entire reason I started this business was to build a better work/life balance for my kiddos, and today, with the help of Beth and her mom, I felt that dream become a reality.

If you haven’t checked Fit4Mom out, the class itself was so much fun! They’ll be held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 9:30. I can’t wait to go back and join as a participant next time!
