This is my first session with a super nice couple with whom I’ve already gotten to see several times since. Baby Reece, the bump in Meagan’s perfect belly, has since arrived and I photographed her first breath in the hospital the day she was born, her first portraits during her newborn session and her 3 month session just a couple of weeks ago. (Yes, I am perpetually behind with blogging.) But I’m so excited to get to chronicle this baby girl’s first year in photos as part of a {Year in the Life} plan. And we’re already excitedly planning her 6 month session!
This type of maternity session is a personal favorite. I love capturing space along with people. There is nothing more personal to a family than their own home, their own things. And this is Reece’s first home. She’ll never have to wonder (when she’s older and interested in such things) where she spent the first portion of her baby years. No matter what changes, she’ll have the photos to give her a sense of where she began. I think that’s beautiful.
Chris, Reece’s Daddy is writing to her in a journal he keeps for her. I ADORE stuff like this. Not only will Reece have a photo treasury (thanks to her mom who adores photos I think as much as I do!), but she’ll also have words written to her from her Father, letters that began even before their first meeting.
This last photo was a special request by her Mom. I didn’t realize until after the fact that since baby Reece was actually in breech when this photo was taken, Meagan’s hand is on her daughter’s head. How sweet is that? 🙂
