San Antonio, Texas
Why do I call them newborn stories? Because the family dynamics change with each new baby’s arrival. With the arrival of darling baby number three, big brother now has two siblings, sister is a big sister for the first time, and mom and dad’s love multiplied times three. Everyone changes. I love to document WHO they were when the new sibling arrived.
I photographed Big Brother when he was a newborn when we lived in PR. Later they moved back to Texas. We stayed connected through the magic of social media. If I ever photograph you, we will most likely become friends. She was one of the first people I met again when I arrived in TX. A couple of years later, they welcomed Baby EM. I had the great honor of documenting their newborn story again.
MOM & DAD
All the LOVE, all the JOY!
The BIG Big Brother
One word: HANDSOME! I always want to do individual portraits to celebrate who they are now too. Do you see that confidence? That’s the confidence of experience and maturity. He takes his responsibility very seriously until he wholeheartedly smiles his biggest smile. Seven years old now and he is the happiest big brother.
The BIG Sister
She twirls! She brought her prettiest dress and danced. This is who she was at the time her baby brother was born. Who wouldn’t want to remember what she loved to do? That’s why I call these sessions Newborn STORIES.
When you celebrate each child individually, they feel appreciated and loved. The photographs will reflect the genuine emotions they felt. It always amazes me how confident they “pose”. They are just sharing with me HOW THEY FEEL and I’m just lucky I get these precious moments. They are too special not to be in beautiful and meaningful portraits as part of a newborn story.
Now We Are FIVE!
Welcoming a new baby changes everything. This family has forever changed. Everyone is feeling the new baby arrival’s exhilaration. Can you hear the giggles in these photographs?
THE NEW BABY!
Solo baby portraits and all the little details. They just met him but I can assure you they already know his expressions and adorable personality. I love the softness natural posing brings and try to incorporate them as much as possible. You can achieve natural lifestyle portraits even in a studio.
The Heirloom Storybook
A beautiful handcrafted in Italy storybook album to relive these memories again and again as the children grow. It comes in a cleverly design displaying box you can stand on a table or dresser as a frame. I create and design the storybook with your colors and aesthetics in mind.
