Wow, time really flies by quickly. I meet Vina and Virgil several months ago when Vina was still pregnant with Cara. Cara is now 1 month old today. Meeting the one month mark is a large milestone in the Asian culture. Supposedly if a baby infant reaches one month old then she should be healthy enough to live the rest of her life.

Today was the 2nd session of my Bump 2 Birth program. Check our Cara’s adorable photographs below:

Happy belated Birthday, Cara! Cara was born on July 01, 2009 at 6:56pm to Vina and Virgil. Cara weighs in a 8 lbs, 2 oz and is 20.5″. I shot the parent’s maternity session a few weeks ago. My wife and I have gotten to know both of them and were super-excited when Vina texted me shortly after midnight! Yes, she texted me that early in the morning Thankfully I was still awake and was preparing for bed after putting my baby daughter to sleep.

My wife and I finally got a chance to meet Cara this afternoon and she’s a cutie. Just check out those cheeks below!

Check out the parents’ maternity session here and you tell me who Cara resembles more, Vina or Virgil?

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.
