The Purpose of Motherhood | Faith for Christian Moms: Faith at home, Overwhelm, Discipling children – Details, episodes & analysis

Mama, if you’ve ever felt the pressure to capture the perfect photo… this episode is going to breathe fresh air into your lungs. 💕

Today I’m talking with Rachel Pray — mom of 3, professional photographer, and the beautiful heart behind Delight & Be Photography. Rachel has a gift for helping everyday moms see the holy, ordinary moments in their homes with brand-new eyes.

In this conversation, Rachel shares why the “messy middle” matters just as much as the picture-perfect moments — maybe even more. You’ll learn how to document your real life as-is, without the pressure, guilt, or comparison. And she also gives us 5 must-take photos every mom should capture throughout her child’s life. Get ready to feel inspired, seen, and excited to pick up your camera (or iPhone!) in a totally new way.

We also talk about supporting your kids’ play-filled childhood, letting go of perfection, and how to preserve memories that will matter decades from now.

If nighttime struggles or bedwetting are part of your journey, I also share a tool that helped our family: TheraPee, the bedwetting solution we personally use and recommend.
