Emelio’s newborn session in Raleigh happened this week. I am so excited that his family brought him to my studio. Most of you probably know that I just love the babies. Since I live on a horse farm I can get images like the one below. Horses add some interest to photos. Isn’t it cool? Emilio’s first photo shoot was a gift from his very special uncle Carlos and Auntie Kristen. Carlos and I communicated back and forth for a while as he searched the triangle area for a photographer. He was wanting to purchase a gift certificate for his new baby nephew. Uncle Carlos stated that he chose my studio because of the quality of my work and the garden shots. Like Carlos, many of my customers come because of the outdoor newborn portraits that I offer.
Uncle Carlos then actually drove from Washington DC to be here for Emelio’s newborn session in my studio here in Raleigh. Emelio’s session went very well. Although it was hot outside we ended up with wonderful images. We also shared some great conversations. Oh yes, we had a lot of laughs as well. It’s so nice to see a whole family come together to really celebrate newborn photos. I don’t mind showing off and I think that watching a photographer do a newborn shoot must be a lot of fun. The newborns look so cute in the little baskets, wraps, hats and poses. It was was so great to meet everyone.
And of course because my I live at a Raleigh horse farm we had to incorporate some of the horses into the photo with baby Emilio. This one took a village. My daughter is getting the horses to the fence while also moving a horse with a fly sheet, uncle Carlos is spotting Emilio, daddy is holding a scrim to block the sun and so on…. nailed it…
There are more images from Emelio’s newborn session in Raleigh in my newborn gallery. Please enjoy browsing through them. Can you tell which baby Emelio is?
In conclusion, the session was also a family affair. His uncle scheduled the session and and gave it as a gift to his brother. I just think that is so sweet. There is nothing in life more important than family. What a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of a new child that to come together as a family and have a great time capturing this special time in their lives.
