Durham Newborn & Family Photographer | First 28 Photography

Baby Aarav was one of the first newborn sessions of my formal launch as a newborn and family photographer, and for that he will always have a very special place in my heart.   He was a calm, dreamy, and a sleepy little snuggle buddy during our time together.  I equally enjoyed spending some one-on-one time with his gorgeous, strong, and nurturing big sister. She enjoyed her special time in front of the camera while baby brother took a milk break; which often is an opportunity I take to make older siblings feel special, included, and loved as they find themselves in the middle of the transition from being only/little child to big sister/brother. Taking this moment pours love into the  session and helps create some great memories!

When I had the opportunity to photograph him and his family shortly after his 6 month birthday, I was SO excited. One, because I love his family! When you can connect and make memories with friends- people you have known for years, it adds a special dimension to the experience. We met at Duke Gardens in Durham and it was an oh-so lovely day. Grandparents from both sides came and that just sent me over the top. Seeing them love on the their grandchildren, the kids kissing their grandparents, and everyone committed to making the experience memorable was a joy to witness. Thank you Shah family for an EPIC photoshoot!
