Made to be remembered.
Eight gatherings. Four workshops, four socials, one season kept on purpose. Designed by a mother currently in it, for women who want a real plan — not another Instagram comment thread.
Everything we do lives under one of four pillars. Gather is the social heartbeat. Grow is the expert support. Keep is what you take home. Play is the baby-first joy. Four pillars, eight weeks, one cohort of women in the same season.
The social heart of the circle. Brunches, picnics, coffee mornings — the unstructured time where the friendships actually form. Show up, your baby shows up, nobody minds the mess.
The expert support. A pediatric RD walks you through milestones without alarmism. A couples therapist sits over coffee. Real guidance, not panic-scrolling.
Real photographs across the eight gatherings — a petite keepsake trunk at the closing, select prints inside, the full gallery in your pocket. Out of iCloud, into the world. Something to keep.
The gentle kind. Sensory mornings, shared blankets, soft music. Built for a six-month-old, not a toddler. Woven through every gathering, so the baby is part of the room and never the problem.
By the time you look up, your baby is walking and the months have blurred. The earliest moments live as half-remembered notes in your phone — not as anything you can hold.
So we photograph the gatherings — real light, real mess, no posing — and at the closing we hand you a petite keepsake trunk: a curated set of prints from the season, with private gallery access to every frame on top. Yours to keep. Your cohort's to share.
A petite linen-bound box, foil-stamped with your name, your baby's, and the year — small enough to hold in two hands.
A curated set from the season — the welcome brunch, the park morning, the closing — sequenced and ready for a frame or a fridge.
Every frame our photographer captures across the season, hosted privately for the cohort — yours to download, share, and reprint anytime.
Our gatherings are documented by a working photographer hired for the cohort — documentary-candid, natural light, no flash, no posed lineups. Galleries delivered within ten to fourteen days. Every mother receives full personal-use rights to every frame.
Founding photographer partnership in formation — announced before invitations close.
A social opens the circle, a workshop follows, then another social, then another workshop — never two of the same kind back-to-back. Babies are present throughout. The schedule is the spine; the rhythm is the point.
Four 90-minute workshops, each anchored in a question you're already asking yourself at 3am. We answer them with the right guest experts and the women in the room. Babies present throughout; advice not required.
Where the advice tsunami lands hardest. Solids, sleep schedules, wake windows, BLW vs purees, the explosion of opinions. We sit with what's actually evidence-based and what's just loud — with a guest who's good at saying "you're fine."
Baby starts to move into the world; you start to ask where your own went. Return to work, the body, identity, ambition reshaped. A facilitated roundtable, not a lecture — the women in the room are the curriculum.
The relational pressure peaks in this window. Partnership, friendship, the village — baby's separation anxiety starts; old friendships drift. We name what nobody around you is naming — with a couples therapist who works with new parents.
The forward-looking work. Baby's personality is online; the toddler horizon is visible; your own dreams are quietly coming back. What kind of mother, woman, partner you're becoming. Closing ritual; final photographs taken.
I'm Rae. My daughter Soriya will be eight months old when the founding circle begins. I spent the first half of her first year running operations for a director-level role at a fintech, and the second half realizing that nobody had built what I actually needed between the postpartum visit and the toddler playgroups.
The casseroles stopped at six weeks. The mom groups were for newborns or toddlers. The "expert" advice came as panic-inducing Instagram reels. And the season was passing faster than I was managing to remember it.
So I built this. Eight gatherings across eight weeks, four workshops, a keepsake trunk at the end. Designed by a mother who is currently in it, for mothers who are currently in it.
Enough structure to feel premium. Enough space to feel human.
Invitations are open through July 25. A short note — five questions, ten minutes — to make sure the founding circle fits together. Decisions within five days, a week to confirm. Made for women who are done pretending random mom-group meetups are enough — and who'd rather be among the first to shape this than the hundredth to join something.

Not the right circle, but interested? The waitlist for the second circle opens with this one.
The second circle will run in early 2027, with the same format and a slightly higher rate than the founding circle. Join the email list and you’ll be the first to hear when invitations open.
