Mikaella 21 days

As I click my shutter, pose Mikaella, click my shutter a few more times, pose her again, I think to myself, "If all parents can be so lucky." Mikaella is the baby all first time parents dream to have - she is beautiful, extremely calm, and very observant. After spending over four hours with this new family it becomes clearly obvious where she gets her gentle demeanor from. Daddy and mommy are so attentive and nurturing, they comfort her when she's squirming and cheer her on when she's "smiling" for the camera. Their soft voices tell tender stories of when they first met or how excited they were to name their baby girl and how long it took them to make sure the spelling of her name was perfect. Because every parent knows their child deserves everything that is, well, perfect.

I truly believe if photography enables me to continually cross paths with people as genuinely kind, hospitable, and humble as Mike and Claudia are then I could do this job for pennies and still find it fruitful. Well, okay, maybe not pennies but you know what I mean. ;-)

I was testing out my mock-studio skills with this photo shoot in case I get my own one day in the far, far future. :-D
