Anyone that photographs newborns knows that ever session is different. For some reason lately my last three little boys have given me a run for my money and little Christian was no different. Usually I swaddle and they sleep but he was not here for it! He was awake the entire session! We still managed to get some great photos with his sister and brother and is Grandmother. Another loving family in the books and I am glad they are enjoying their images.
Photographing a first year session can be hit or miss depending on the amount of sleep. This was the case for Miss Zoe as she was not having a good day but we did get a few images for her parents to have and share with family and friends. I am appreciative that her parents braved the cold weather to achieve this short session and I look forward to working with them again.
Excited that this former photography classmate of mine trusted me to take her maternity and family portraits for her third and final child...so she says! LOL! It was a pleasure having the Mills family in the studio for the afternoon and getting to know her hubby and other two children who are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of their little brother next month! Congrats Monae!
There is nothing like having a newborn in the studio in the afternoon! Miss Margo was no exception and was a pure joy to meet and cuddle with! She was so sweet with her head full of hair and overall calm disposition. Her parents and little sister have become a staple in my studio and I can't wait to see more milestones from this family as they continue to grow!
I was excited to be contacted by this blended family to photograph their love for each other. I recently met them while in school and built a quick respect and friendship with them. The girls were absolutely adorable and one was camera ready at all times...which makes me very happy as a photographer. It was a pleasure photographing them on location in Richmond, Virginia and I look forward to many more sessions together.
Family sessions are so much fun...especially when they are a combo to announce the new arrival to the family. This session was so fun and carefree on a chilly afternoon. The girls were glad to walk in the leaves and sit and look at the water while mom and dad took some photos with each other. I can't wait to meet the new little one and capture his first moments.
Who doesn't remember their Senior year and all the excitement of getting ready to graduate? Senior sessions always take me back to my senior portraits and the fun I had having my own portraits taken. I recently had the opportunity to meet this young lady and she was so sweet. Just calm and wanted photos with her guitar and nothing to fancy. Her gorgeous blue eyes and wonderful smile were such a delight to capture so she will have these photos for years to come.
Babies are amazing and when you get to photograph two of them it is a wonderful thing! I met these two little ones at 11 days old and they were just gorgeous. Malia with her calm demeanor and Joseph, who is the feisty one already, brought such a joy. Once both were asleep, because one would be awake and the other would snuggle, we were able to snap a couple of portraits.
I have learned so much through newborn photography and the number one thing is PATIENCE!! I had a totally different vision for this session but you have to always be flexible when it comes to little ones. I can't wait to see them grow and develop their personalities to see if they stay calm and feisty! :-)
