Friendship & A First Session

My Sweet Friend

When I opened my studio a couple of months ago, I knew that it was going to be one of the most amazing events in my life.  I wanted my first sessions to be meaningful. I love to photograph newborns and wanted the first newborn session in my new studio to be perfect. So, It was only fitting that the first be for a woman that I have been friends with for a giant chunk of my life. I have been friends with this beautiful mommy for 20+ years! Amber has her own business, Amber J Photography, and we have shot many events together! But our friendship goes so much deeper than work. I was ecstatic in the fall when I found out she was pregnant with a baby girl! But then I was reconstructing and moving into the studio we didn’t speak much over winter. Next thing I knew as I was moving my stuff in Amber delivered sweet Emma. Now her new baby would be my first baby in my new amazing space!

Emma Pearl in the Studio

Amber’s baby girl, Emma Pearl, is gorgeous. She is already a spitting image of her dad! She was amazing and absolutely adorable. Lots of smiles and laughter! Amber is wearing a headpiece designed by Petite Boutique, another staple red piece of the shoot. Many of her accessories were made by them but this floral headpiece was especially beautiful and made the photos pop! My incredible floor was provided by Richland Carpet and Flooring, and laid by my one and only (the hub!) P.S. My husband worked so hard in this space to make it perfect for me! When I first saw this floor I knew it would photograph beautifully and with a unique style!

In the end, I found that this session meant so much to me. It felt amazing to have such a good friend to be the subject of the first newborn shoot in my new studio! It really made me appreciate the people in my life who were able to help me make this dream happen. Also that I couldn’t provide an even higher quality session to my special friend filled my heart with joy!
