“Nothing in life will ever make you as happy, as sad, as exhausted, or as incredibly proud as motherhood.”
-Elia Parsons
Our first newborn session of 2021 was as sweet as could be. Cecil entered the world, plump and perfect, and into the arms of his loving parents. Lauren contacted me during her last trimester to photograph him at their home in Thomasville, Georgia once he arrived.
As I do with all my clients, I asked her to send me some photos she had seen that she loved. This was to make sure we were in sync with her vision for their session. When she texted a collection of black and white images, I got giddy with excitement. Black and white photos are some of my favorites. Somehow, I find them soft yet bold. I love them.
Welcome to this wild world, little Cecil.

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.”
