“Of all things that I held, my baby boy is the most beautiful and precious.”

Welcome back!
The mission of this blog post is to show off the Charming Lucas Still. I actually photographed Lucas about 6 months ago when he was about 1 month old. Check out the pictures here:
https://reflectionsbylunaphotography.blogspot.com/2018/12/momdad-babyfamily-of-3.html
His parents traveled 3 hours up to meet us for this session so it was a long day but he did fantastic!

Can you believe how big this little fella has gotten since then? I had to blink a few times to make sure I was seeing things clearly! He is already crawling, pulling himself up, and walking as long as he’s holding on to something and he has started babbling. He is also attempting to talk and holds kind of a conversation with you and loves feeding himself. It’s amazing how fast they grow!

Baby Lucas was the perfect size to put in a Tonka Truck. I was so excited to be able to use the prop and loved how the pictures turned out. I'll definitely be using this one in future sessions.

Annmarie also brought his Yoda costume from her maternity/newborn pictures which added even more to the photos we took. One of my favorite stories his parents have told me and why we have star wars theme prop at every session is how when they were choosing a name they wanted one that was simple yet unique and had chosen Lucas. When they found out they were having a boy, the first thing Wayne (Daddy) said was “Luke, I am your father.” And so the star wars theme was started. From maternity until now and on to a special star wars themed cake smash coming in late October/early November!
Tips for parents preparing their baby for the session from Annmarie Still:
Make it the First thing you do, or do it after a good feed/nap.
Honestly, be flexible. Have an idea of what you want, but be willing to just go with the flow of what your baby wants to do. Trust that Sariah can adapt, because believe me, She can!
How did you feel the session went overall?
AMAZING. You have this amazing ability to draw Lucas’s attention and make him smile no matter How the day has gone, and I’m forever grateful to you for that.

My Hope, My heartbeat -Tami Main

Another woman I met in a separate  group agreed to share her story in my blog series as well. She shares it much better than I could have. She suffered from multiple miscarriages as well as multiple IVF failed treatments. She also went through so much more than that during her storm. Here is her story of her losses and her rainbow after the storm. Her name is Tami and this is her story: No Heartbeat I had no reason to think I might never have another child.  My story started fifteen years ago when I was pregnant with my now 14-year-old daughter. I wasn't nervous during my first pregnancy. If anything, I was oblivious to the fact that anything could possibly go wrong. But, it all went smoothly- my daughter arrived perfectly on her due date with an uncomplicated, natural birth. My pregnancy was textbook. My relationship with my daughter's father, however, was anything but textbook. After my daughter’s birth, we decided to take a break. It ended up lasting years....

Adventure Awaits Part 2

Hi all! I’ve got a newborn (1 Month old) session to share with you/ 1 month old babies are one of my favorites to capture because they are just starting to find their personality. You can start to see their different expressions and are starting to learn what each look and stare means. During this session, I captured many expressions for baby Olivia. She is an absolute doll with a fun personality. She will definitely bring her parents adventures for sure. I met up with Erica and Jon a couple weeks ago at Leone Price Park and, as you can see, it was the dreamiest. Session. Ever! Erica’s favorite memory from the birth was “I loved having Jon be there with me and supportive through the whole thing. He was the one that announced “it’s a girl!” And cut the cord. It was all just the perfect moment and a day full of treasured memories.” Erica and Jon had chosen not to find out what they were having until the day she was born. Erica said her first thought when she saw little Oliv...

The Importance of recognizing the Amazing Pregnancy Journey

-
Even though pregnancy comes with a lot of difficult trials, it is an amazing time in your life. It is a time of celebration and of anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. It’s a time where you become strong – stronger than you ever thought you could possibly be. During this time, you create your initial bond with your child that will continue throughout your entire lives. There are very few women who actually feel like they are beautiful while they are pregnant – especially during the first pregnancy. However, the miracle of pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Swollen feet, stretch marks, and hormone changes aside – you are growing a real live human being inside of you. All of those side effects come from different things your body has to do to help nourish and protect your baby. You are beautiful, and you should take the time to celebrate these changes and this amazing moment in your life. These photos will be a great gift to pass down to your child as an ...
