Emma’s mom gave me a call a few weeks ago to chat about her daughter’s 6th birthday. She told me that her daughter was full of energy, very girly and had couldn’t wait to have her portraits made. That was a very accurate description! From the moment Emma walked into my studio I knew we were going to create magic! She was so excited about her session that she made my job easy! Every idea I had, she fully engaged with it and her “little girl” happiness shined through to the camera.
Emma’s mom came back to the studio to view the portraits last week and fell in love when the first image came up on the screen. We worked together to design some beautiful art pieces for their home and for grandparents that will forever say “Emma”.
Here are a few of my favorites from her session.
As most of you know, we love creating storytelling collages from our children’s sessions. Here is one we created for Emma!
Thank you Kristine for trusting me with your daughter’s most precious memories! I hope that she always has this sparkle of happiness inside her and I simply can not wait to photograph her again!!
