Category Archives: Newborns and InfantsWhat I like best about this Fab 5 session is that I didn’t have to tell the parents exactly how to hold their child. All I said was “get super close,” and they both just wrapped themselves around him, held his hand, and leaned their heads in to touch his: each move a beautifully symbolic representation of love and support. Sitting in my studio, one Saturday morning in Charlottesville, we photographed them as they were, as they felt about each other, right then.
“No professional on a dream assignment to some exotic end of the earth could hope to find subjects more mysterious and alive and expressive than these proto-people who are right at hand everywhere.” -Life Library of Photography, Photographing Children Get ready for a cute-attack! I’m amazed at the happiness exuded by this infant and her older brother. I had such a hard time narrowing their pictures down to the 10 best because they were so adorable! (This is the third in a series of my favorites from last weekend’s Fab 5!)
“Children simply make fascinating portraits. Because they are discovering so many things for the first time, yet simultaneously love the ritual of repetition; because they are unfettered in their spontaneity even as they are circumscribed by the rules of their grown-up tutors; because childhood is a world apart – for all these reasons, the portrait of the child contains within it many of the best elements of photography.” – Life Library of Photography, Photographing Children All this week, we will be sharing our favorite photos from this past Saturday’s Fab 5 Day! It was my first official day back after the birth of Veronica Rose, and I had a bunch of fun connecting with all of the awesome families that came to have their children’s picture taken…including the two adorable little boys below. We have one more Fab 5 this Spring, and then we are on break until the Fall!
Say hello to baby Veronica! She is 7 days old in the photograph below. For the full effect, view this picture while listening to “Veronica” by Elvis Costello.
This handsome little baby was just a sparkle in his parents’ eye when I shot their wedding just a year ago! Now, here he is, pudgy and beautiful as can be. Just like at their wedding, these two displayed so much passion and love for family during their session that it left me feeling full and inspired. Thank you for letting me photograph your budding family, Jessica & Matt!
