As a newborn photographer in the Athens, GA area, I spend a lot of time in the studio with mom and dad, usually waiting for baby to fall asleep. We talk a lot and really get to know each other well. What I learned about sweet Emily Pearl was that, although she came as a surprise to parents Jessica and Jeff, she was definitely planned by God, and they wouldn't trade her for the world! The first thing mom thought when she saw her sweet baby for the first time was "Wow! I'm really a mom now!" She was amazed at how beautiful she was and how much hair she had.

When I asked Jessica what her favorite part of the photo session was, she said, "I loved watching you patiently work with our daughter even though she was being a little fussy. It took a few hours, but in the end it was well worth it!"

Mom chose one of my favorite props for her little Pearl, my vintage scale. Pearl sunk right into the white fur and dreamed away...

 Mom was worried that her baby wouldn't stay asleep during the session, and it turns out she did wake up a few times, but she was as content as could be (very surprising to mom). I got some great pictures of her in that awake state as she laid calmly in the antique bread bowl! I do my best to make sure the environment is quiet and calm.
