Every Chapter Captured Beautifully

MATERNITY

A handsome couple holds their newborn baby. They are snuggled close together, nose to nose. You can feel the love. Their baby girl is wrapped in a flower fabric with her sweet eyes looking into the camera.

NEWBORN

An adorable little girl stands in the studio. It has been decorated for her first birthday portraits in Mardi Gras decor.

FIRST BIRTHDAY SMASH
