Joel at 5 months

I have been playing a bit of catch up in life, and I have missed sharing sneak peeks into photography sessions. July was an amazing month for the studio and we loved putting our masks on and getting back to what we love to do best.

The session I am sharing today was from a little boy named Joel. He was 5 months old and had the most amazing baby face. He actually was having a rough day the afternoon this family came in for his session, a new tooth was emerging. However, it was pure joy to go through the images to edit them from this session. All exhaustion was forgotten. All memories of tears he shed were distant. What we had left was a beautiful collection of not only individual portraits of him, but of his family as well.

As you can see, he was most happy when he was in someones arms. I think that might be the norm for him on a daily basis. He comes from a family of a lot of love. This family originates from Peru, and little Joel is a first generation born American. Xavier and I were so blessed to meet this family who we now call our friends.

We hope you enjoy a few images from Joel’s 5 month session.

We were invited to this family’s home to celebrate Joel’s 6 month birthday with a photoshoot complete with cupcakes and authentic Peruvian food! Images from that session coming up very soon!
