A New Life


So beautiful to photograph a newborn. I so appreciate the parents that allow me to come in to their homes after only a few days of having a baby. The gentle cradle of mom's arms, the sweet daddy kisses and sometimes the gentle or not so gentle pats of a sibling. It's all so exciting and amazing to observe...and photograph. Hope these memories I caught in still photos last you a lifetime.


Photo Tip from Shadi:
Hands are a powerful symbol in any image. Little hands, big hands, newborn hands, old hands, hands playing an instrument, hands painting with a brush, hands sweeping the hair off of a lover's face...pay attention to the hands. Include them in the photograph. They tell stories.
