when elena first contacted me, i could sense her sweet spirit even through her emails. arriving at her home only confirmed that assumption! there was such a calm and quietness when we arrived. it was such a pleasure to photograph baby-boy and capture some of his first special moments.
for those following our work, you know by now that our children are an integral part of what we do. i mean it when i say i don’t like to photograph newborns without my number one assistant anna, and after this session, i imagine the days when i’ll be assisting her. it is always our goal to spoil our clients and show love and honor when we photograph them; it was a dear treat to receive confirmation from elena when we arrived home from baby vasilios’ session, and i had to share her email with you:
“Hi Angela,
It was so nice to meet both you and your talented Anna yesterday! All of us (me, Dimitri, and my mom) are so impressed at how gentle and patient you were with our baby boy during the photo session. Thank you so much for wonderful experience!”
thank you so much, elena, dimitri, and grandma, for trusting us with what is precious to you. you have a beautiful baby and a beautiful life!
*i have to give words of thanks to elena’s doula (for those unfamiliar, a doula is a birth assistant!), for when elena shared the story of her calm and peaceful birth, she gave credit to this wonderful woman. as an advocate for natural birthing, it was awesome to hear the story, and of the powerful vocation that doulas have!
big hugs and congratulations! –angela (and anna)
