Elaine and her husband graced me with their presence a few years ago while pregnant with their first baby. Elaine came prepared with some fabulous ideas that we were able to create for her. (You can see one of the photos here: https://emilypayne.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2011PortraitSessions-Maternity-and-Newborn.pdf).  She called me with the good news that they were expecting another baby a few months back! I am so blessed to be on the “call list” when important things happen in peoples lives! It is so cool.

A maternity session with a toddler adds an element of fun, family and love! We were able to capture Isabella holding and kissing her mom’s belly, getting cozy with mom and dad and having a fun time in her skirt!

Baby Joaquin and the family came in to the studio and again, Elaine had some great ideas with new fun poses. Add a newborn into the mix with a toddler and it is a very different vibe! Isabella loved the toys I placed out for her around the studio and then would “interrupt” the session perfectly on cue!

Working with Elaine and her family is so easy, almost like working with my own family. I love that they have chosen me to photograph their most special moments. Thank you.

Elaine was wowed with the newborn session and said, “Hi Emily,
The pictures are gorgeous!!!!!!!!  This is your best work yet!!!  WE LOVE ALL THE POSES! ”
