I did Saiorse’s newborn session way back in the beginning of December! I’m so behind on blogging, but wanted to share some images of this sweet girl. So, let me introduce the beautiful Saiorse…
(p.s. Her name is pronounced “seer-sha!” Isn’t that awesome?)
Becky came all the way from Central Oregon to have her senior portraits on the beach! Of course it stormed like crazy the week before our session, and I was so nervous about the weather. As it turned out, we got a perfectly dry morning with just a hint of sun–perfect morning light! And, she was so brave, she even laid down in the sand for me. Overall, she made my job really easy…just look at how gorgeous she is!
I love babies. I have known for what seems like my whole life that I was destined to work with babies in some form or another. So it seems natural that everything about newborn photography makes my heart sing. This particular session was so lovely. Bennett slept so peacefully, even as I moved him around, wrapped him up, and even carefully arranged his tiny fingers a few times. He was a perfect model, and after a snack break, even posed for some awake shots as well. I so enjoyed meeting this family. His mama and I share a midwife, and I have been reading her blog for quite awhile. When Bennett arrived, I wanted to gift them a photo shoot so badly, but I worried that it would be weird for me to come out of nowhere (sort of) and ask them if I could take pictures of their baby. Luckily I got brave and did it anyway…and it has become one of my favorite sessions to date! I think I fell a little bit in love with Bennett in the process. Really, can you blame me? :)
Sometimes everything falls together to create one perfect photo shoot. That was definitely the case with this session. Beautiful weather, beautiful light, beautiful location, and of course, beautiful people! I will admit, I was nervous at first when she mentioned that they had a great location, but we would have to climb a sand dune first! I’m so glad I agreed though, as it turned out to be one of my favorite locations to date. We started shooting on top of a bunch of huge rocks over the ocean and made our way back down to the beach as the sun set. It was an amazing night all around. I can’t wait to meet their baby girl!
Once again, I am way behind on blogging sessions. This mother daughter pair was so much fun. We spent the evening on the beach, which happened to be really foggy and cold, but it still made for awesome natural light! I have to say, one of the best parts of being a family photographer is being able to capture the many different definitions of family. I love it. These two are the cutest pair!
