Gabriella

I love it when things "click".

This couple is so sweet. I'd done portraits with them before--with their first baby and now they have a beautiful little girl named Gabby. I really enjoyed my time with them so much. I loved how much they kissed their baby. They really allow themselves to just "be" in the moment so that I can capture the emotion that they truly feel about this little one. I love that.

Its so nice when the client is able to stop worrying about where they should look or what they should do and just "love" on their baby a bit. I try so hard to let clients know that I really don't even care if they are looking at me. I'll tell them if I want them to look or "smile" (for grandparents). But really, what I want most from every session is for them to sort of forget about me and just show me how they feel.

Do they hug a lot? Do they sing with their child? Are they silly? Snuggly? What makes them happy? Relax and show me your relationship. These are the things that make a portrait more personal. Its not just a "picture", it is a representation of who you are at this moment in your life.
