B2B: Vina & Virgil maternity

Virgil is a cool dude and Vina is a cute and petite mother to be. That was my initial impression when I met them about one month ago to discuss my Bump to Birth program. Mothers get two photography sessions, the first one during their pregnancy and the second one within one month after the baby’s birth. The program gives parents two sessions for the price of one. I can’t wait to meet and photograph their daughter, Cara Alyssa. We’ll most likely create a baby book to showcase the two sessions together.

Vina also happens to be a maternity nurse and was a constant source of wisdom during our own pregnancy. We had several email conversations just on our babies (hers and my wife’s). At one point in the maternity ward after our daughter was born, my wife asked if I told Vina about the big news?! Cindy wants to meet Vina.  Sophia and Cara can be friends. The six of us (two sets of parents,  and babies) definitely need to get together and chill. We’ll have a grand ole time watching the drool fest.

Virgil was extremely helpful and encouraging throughout the session. I tried to include him as many photographs as I could, but as you can see, Virgil was often left holding the bag.

How cute are Vina and Virgil, huh? Be sure to stay turned for the sequel session with their daughter.

Day 8: A stroll in the park.

Sophia is 8 days old today. Mommy and Daddy decided to take her out for a nice stroll at the neighborhood park. All the other mother’s were out with their kids on this Friday.  Cindy and I felt like we just joined some sort club for mothers at the park. Sophia was out cold. It was her first day out at the park and all she could do was sleep.

We then visited Grandma and gave Sophia some tummy time.

Details: Sophia’s 2nd and 3rd day

Babies grow up so fast. I think it’s important to capture all these baby details, wrinkles, skin rashes, drools and all. Below are a few photos of Sophia’s 2nd and 3rd day.

How cute is that button-nose of hers?

We all think Sophia has daddy’s ears.

The length of her feet is about the size of my thumb!
