Meeting Riley for the first time was such a wonderful experience. My first thought was “Oooh she looks so much like her mom, Yvette”. Photographing babies will always have a special place in my heart. The beauty of photographing infants is that “they” dictate how the session goes, which Riley did so well. There is no “posing” when it comes to infants and newborns. No one smiles all the time especially not babies. I had to be spontaneous as Riley’s mood swings were and her parents, Yvette and Djaya were such great partners too. I wanted to catch Riley’s moods. A pout, a faint smile, a good frown. I wanted to capture everything. We had a great time yesterday with Djaya’s new family.
As I was driving home yesterday, I realized how precious these moments are with our children. Babies grow so fast. They always have their “firsts”. I’m happy to have been able to capture Riley at her best in her “first session” with her “Tito Rikki”.
Here are some shots from yesterday’s session with Riley. It was such a wonderful session we had together with Sabrina. Even though they’re not technically cousins, when you’re in a Filipino-Indonesian family, everyone’s your cousin. Here’s a small sampling of her shots. The rest will be reserved for her parents and family. She’s such a cutie!
