Adrian and Valeria brought in their beautiful new daughter for a newborn session this summer. She was so sweet, and I couldn’t get over that full head of dark, gorgeous hair!
Originally we scheduled this as a mini session, which means baby only, without any family photos. But as I got ready for this shoot, I realized that none of my LGBTQIA+ clients in the recent past had chosen to do family photos either. While this is always a personal decision, it’s also important to me as a photographer to show diversity in my portfolio, so I asked Adrian and Valeria if they would be willing to model for me. They very graciously agreed. I love the beautiful family portraits we were able to capture of these two moms and their precious baby girl!
We did, of course, do some baby only portraits, which all turned out so pretty. I especially love the midnight blue wrap with my moon and stars props. Love baby girls in blue!
It’s also fun for me to capture tiny details, like those precious fingers and toes. We used moms’ wedding rings to make this shot extra special and meaningful.
One of the things I love about being a newborn and family photographer is that I get to spend time with families of all shapes and sizes. And every single one of them is beautiful! I’m well aware that, even with all the talk about inclusion and diversity, it doesn’t always feel like those values are being practiced in the real world. Which is why I’m so grateful to these moms for helping me not only capture their family’s love, but also share it with others.
I want everyone to feel comfortable inquiring and booking with me, and to have a wonderful experience. If you are looking for a diverse and inclusive newborn photographer in Oregon, please be in touch. I would be truly honored to document your family’s story!
