I want you to meet the tiniest, sweetest, most peaceful baby girl on earth. Introducing Lucia Mary, whose arrival was a few days late by some standards, but right on time for the only one that really mattered: hers. She was so good to me for our session, giving me the brightest eyes and mesmerizing eye contact, and then sweet slumber (and smiles!). A little backstory: I lugged in all my "newborn gear": the beanbag, baskets, furs, blankets, the whole nine yards. But the mood at Lucia's house was so peaceful and relaxed, and I always try to go with my clients' energy and style as much as I can. Once I started shooting, I really felt comfortable the way the session was leading, and I felt it was best to shoot as simply as possible. We shot this session very lifestyle-ish, using very few "props" besides a few blankets and her Mommy. And I loved how it turned out!! I edited them a little differently as well, just because I felt the black and whites needed a warmer presence. Anyhow, enough of my musings. :) I've been so anxious to get these posted for Lucia's parents; I know they're looking forward to seeing our results from the day. (Your entire gallery will be ready very soon, but for now, enjoy your sneak peek! xo)
Lucia has a very proud big sister, and a very curious cousin! I love these next two! Such a sweet trio of girls.
Patty, thank you for your patience, and for being such an amazing person, mom, and friend. All our love to you, Scott and the girls.
Loved this moment with Daddy and his little girl. I am realizing more and more each day how very much Daddies adore their baby girls. Although I know it well with my own father (who is still so loving and affectionate, and would do anything for his three "little girls" to this very day), it's something else entirely when you actually have your own husband and your own daughter who share the same bond. Makes me smile ~ and tear up a bit too ~ when I see it in my clients' eyes. :)
Little man. :) He was so good to me and my camera, despite it being almost dinner and night-night time. What a darling trooper he was! Just look at that sweet smile. (And that new tooth about to make its debut!!)
And his gorgeous Mama. I was so drawn to the next image... little thing had gotten hurt and Mama was holding her, consoling her, and making it all better. Hey, that's what we're known for, right? "Disappearing" all the hurts away. Her tears didn't last long, I assure you. :)
Thank you for a wonderful evening with your family, Alison. Thank you for opening up your home to me and allowing me to record these moments for you. I hope to do it again soon!
