Gisella and Manny brought their beautiful, precious Ella to the SVphotography studio in Markham for some (almost) newborn pictures. Even though she was already a month old, Ella was still so tiny and delicate. Most first time parents are very trepidatious when having their precious newborn posed. But not these two, they handled her like seasoned pros.

As you can see in the pictures above, we started with a pure black background since Manny and Gisella were wearing black. I love the way the pictures look in black and white with this type of set up, so a lot of these pictures went that way.

Even a warm stream of urine cascading down the arm couldn’t take the sparkle out of Mom’s eye. I guess after carrying the baby for nine months and going through the birthing process, a little urine doesn’t really seem like all that big of a deal.

Ella was a natural in front of the camera. She was alert, checking out her surroundings, even lifting her head at times. And she never really fussed either, though a couple times she made it clear she wanted a drink.

Towards the end of the session, Ella became sleepy and we got some good pictures of her resting ever so peacefully.

It was a wonderful experience taking pictures of sweet Ella. She is so lucky to have two such doting and loving parents in her life. May that excitement, love, and sparkle in the eye never wane no matter what the future brings!
