Another beautiful baby came to the studio today, with another extremely lovely and chilled out mom. I wish when my first baby was born that I’d mustered half the confidence that these new moms seem to have.
Ava’s mother brought a few special things with her, including the plaid blanket that Ava’s father used as a baby. Love the truly retro colors! We spent a good portion of the morning giggling at Ava’s half-hearted protests at having her clothes off. Then we watched her smile and wiggle. Then we spent a while just watching her fall asleep. Very, very slowly falling asleep.
I think my favorite shots from the morning are Ava being held by her mom. Technically the images are quite simple — just straight window light. What I love is the feeling of intense, new closeness. It’s a closeness universal to all parents, but personal here to Ava and her mother.
Thank you, ladies, for a lovely morning.
