This family’s maternity session is perhaps the most talked about session of recent months–the bathroom, the sweater(not a maternity item, ladies), the couch, and–of course, the artwork. All of these things aside, their newborn session is one that I won’t soon forget. Such a gift she is to her mama…I think her mom is one of the most joyous mamas I have ever witnessed. Tears of joy flowed at the session. And, if you don’t know me, I cannot NOT cry when someone else cries. It is physically impossible for me. I love my job!!! I especially love when I have the opportunity to capture this journey from belly to baby. The trust that develops between artist and client allows me to work in the best possible environment creating unique images that together tell the story of a new life beginning.

First…let me introduce Sweet Stella.

As much as I think capturing images of the baby alone is important, family images that truly express their excitement at welcoming this new little member far outweigh those images. At this session, I was lucky enough to be present when Stella’s big brother got to hold her for the first time. Not only was it the first time he got to hold her, but it was the first time he held any baby. It was so sweet and gentle and wonderful. When asked what he thought, her 18 year old brother said he thought it was ‘pretty cool’ Here is their newly expanded family…

And, now…mama. Recreating the couch shots from her maternity session with her new babe(6 days new) in her arms.

Thank you to this lovely family for opening your home and your hearts for me to see I look forward to seeing Stella grow!!!
