Emma Shay and her parents were such a pleasure to have in the studio. These three are so special, as they are totally in love with each other. It was so apparent that Mom and Dad are so in love with their new baby girl, and it was so fun capturing such sweet moments that they shared!

Lindsay, Emma’s mom, was gifted the session from her mother. I love the idea of gifting a session to someone! I know how much it meant to Lindsay and her husband, Joe. They will be able to cherish the photos of Emma as a newborn for the rest of their lives. Emma was born in January, which makes her just 2 months old! This little one was so stinkin’ cute, and had the most precious tiny features. I loved how snuggly she was. She totally enjoyed being curled up next to her parents.

For newborn sessions, I always try to make the babies feel as comfortable as possible. I make it a priority to let the little ones be in charge of the session, as they are so new and delicate! Emma was so cooperative, and seemed to be right at home as she slept the entire time. We changed her wardrobe a few times, and every single photo taken was adorable! I loved the photos we took of Emma curled up in a soft pink blanket with a headband on her head. She looked so precious as she slept so snuggly.

All in all, I had a wonderful time with the Bankard family. They are so blessed to have welcomed such a sweet baby girl such as Emma. Lindsay and Joe finally have the puzzle piece that completes them. Congratulations to these two! I am looking forward to seeing Emma grow into a beautiful girl in the future!

Welcome to the world sweet Emma Shay! You are as adorable as your name. It was an honor being your Tampa Newborn Natural Light Photographer!
