Inside Pink Moon Moms: Support, Self-Care, and Community for Local Moms
There’s a special community space made just for Moms in Bethesda, Maryland and it’s called Pink Moon!
I had the honor of photographing their beautiful new space, capturing both branding photos of some of the staff & instructors and the excitement of their grand opening & celebration. I’m so lucky to have been part of both of these!
Whether you’re a new mom loving on your first baby, a seasoned mom with toddlers on your hip, or you just want a supportive community I encourage you to look into this space! Pink Moon Moms offers a warm and welcoming space designed with mothers in mind.
About Pink Moon:
Founded with a mission to nurture and empower moms, Pink Moon provides a variety of services tailored to the unique needs of moms at every stage. Some of their offerings include:
Co-working lounge with free coffee
Fitness classes including yoga, Pilates, postpartum fitness, dance cardio, and full body workouts, plus BYO Baby classes
Supportive workshops & events covering parenting topics, self-care, and mental health
Birthday parties and space rentals
Community gatherings and pop ups where moms can connect, share experiences, and build connections with community partners
Every detail of the space is designed to help moms feel seen, supported, and celebrated. The Pink Moon space is designed as a place where Moms can join classes, work, all while their children can play and explore in the supervised childcare playroom.
And did we mention the free coffee bar??!
Being a good mom doesn’t mean doing it all. It means having space to care for yourself, too. And that’s why Pink Moon exists! To lighten the mental load and give you flexible ways to sweat, connect, and recharge.
Leave it up to Pink Moon to take care of the rest!
The Branding Photo Session
Before the grand opening, I worked with Jill and some of the Pink Moon team to capture a set of branding photos that showcased their space, services, and personality.
The goal of this fun branding session was to highlight the warmth and energy that moms will experience the moment they walk in, something that Jill Adams has brought to the space!
I feel so honored that they chose these images to be part of their website, social media, and marketing in order for them to share their story visually and connect with the moms they serve.
Grand Opening Celebration
The Pink Moon grand opening was such an exciting event to be part of! There were so many small businesses sharing information and connecting with the community, and there were so many families checking out the space, networking, building relationships, and learning about upcoming programs and offers.
It was filled with so much excitement, energy, and connection which is the very heart of what Pink Moon Moms is all about.
Why spaces like Pink Moon matter
Motherhood can be beautiful, but it can also feel isolating. Having a dedicated space for moms to connect and recharge can make all the difference.
Pink Moon offers not just services, but a community. I’ve had the pleasure of attending some of their events and wellness classes. I’ve taken some of their yoga & Pilates classes and I always feel so much better afterwards.
We need spaces like this!
If you’re a mom in the Bethesda, Maryland area or even Washington, DC and Northern Virginia areas and you’re looking for connection, self-care, or simply a place to work or take space, I can’t recommend Pink Moon enough!

Hi! I’m Tabitha! Nice to meet you!
I’m a maternity and family photographer based in Kensington, MD and I photograph families at their home or outdoors in the Montgomery County, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia areas. I use a laid back lifestyle approach when photographing families because I think some of the best photos are made when you’re relaxed.
Sessions with young kids should feel fun and enjoyable and that’s exactly what I want for you when you’re in front of my camera!
If you’re here because you are interested in exploring more spaces for Moms, welcome! I only have amazing things to say about the Pink Moon space. Being a mom is such a wonderful thing and we deserve places like this!
I work with expecting, new, and seasoned moms throughout the area that want joyful, connection focused images of their family that are meaningful. If you’re looking into maternity photos, thinking about scheduling a newborn photo shoot, or just want to update your family photos for your walls, I’d love to work with you and preserve this special chapter.

5 Reasons to do a Photo Walk with Photography Friends
A few months ago I got together with some local photographers in the DC area to go on a photo stroll in Georgetown. The girls are a mix of family, portrait, and food photographers and it was such a fun experience to support the “community over competition” mentality, as we had such a fun time talking, laughing, posing, and scouting fun and interesting locations in Georgetown. I’ve written this blog post to include reasons why you should do a photo walk!

5 Reasons to do a photo walk with photography friends
get to know each other better
I had met a few of these photographers at a photography get together previously, but not all of them. Going on a photo walk gives you a way to use your common interest to connect with other photographers. We are all members of the Elena S Blair Community Chapter of DC, which is a group of family and newborn photographers located in the DC Area looking to build relationships with one another through local meetups. We were able to introduce ourselves over coffee before we began the photo walk and we made a plan to walk around as a group to connect, talk, and photograph each other.
view different perspectives
Each artist has a unique talent of seeing things differently than someone else. We all took turns being the “model” while the other photographers took turns photographing us. It was actually quite hilarious, as people in Georgetown would walk by us and seemed to be questioning “why are there so many photographers?” Through out the session we were able to see how differently each person photographed through their lens. We shared the photos after the shoot and it’s so neat to see how the same subject and the same location can be photographed using different perspectives.
learn a new location
I had never had a photo shoot in Georgetown so it was really neat to scope out areas that I would have probably otherwise not have noticed. Using my camera as a tool I was able to pay more attention to the amazing flowers, doors and textures all around Georgetown. It was very interesting to shoot mid-day, which is typically a harder time for a session, but we made it work by staying in well lit areas. And some of them aren’t perfect but I love them!
practice a new lens or tool
When we were making a plan for this shoot we talked a little bit about what may have been new to us. Going on a photo walk with friends is a good way to practice a skill or use a new lens. There is less pressure with friends to not have to produce a “perfect” image and it’s a great way to get used to your equipment prior to when you need it for a family session.
to have fresh content for marketing your business
We knew that the photos would be shared with each other and we had permission to use them to market our business. It’s a great way to have updated photos to use on your website and social media to stay relevant to your audience.
