The images from Emily's 3-month session turned out beautifully, and I'm very excited to share them with you! I also love being able to pass along a little about this family's story! Emily's mom and dad, Beth and Dave, shared with me that Emily has actually been a long time in the making. Beth and Dave struggled through years of infertility before sweet Emily came along. Mom and Dad revealed that this little cherub was a much-awaited blessing for their family. My hope is that these photos, captured on a warm and pleasant evening in late August, will adequately convey the sense of joy Beth and Dave feel over finally becoming a family of three.
Any new parent will agree that getting to know the newest love of your life is one of the many highlights in those earliest days. Beth and Dave are no exception. They love watching Emily's personality develop. Beth explained, "She’s at this fun stage where she loves looking into your face and just watching you." They also just can't get enough of Emily's smile. And, with a smile like Emily's, who could blame them? Beth also told me that Emily loves soft instrumental music, and actually sometimes gets angry if they shut it off. In fact, in addition to Beth's independent spirit, Mom and Dad hope that Emily will inherit Dad's musical talent. Dave can sit down and make up a masterpiece from just chords on the piano. With her love of music becoming more evident by the day, something tells me they had better start saving up for some music lessons for this little budding musician! Perhaps one day Emily might even write a song to explain her mom and dad's interesting inside joke about sharks and penguins to the rest of the world!
Emily has brought a sense of fun and magic to their lives, and I'm grateful that I get to share this part of their story with you. They have selected a milestones photography package, so we'll be able to keep up with this family throughout Emily's first year...and hopefully for many years to come!
