newborn - 3/27 - the portrait place - seattle newborn photographer alecia silva

Just a quick post – here are some of the fun shots taken on the day of filming with PhotoVision. What a fun day! The babies, while both gorgeous, had serious opinions about me posing them, but I managed to stay patient enough to get some fun shots! It was a long, very HOT session (that’s what happens when you have 15 people in a 500 sq ft studio!) – but Ed and his crew were so much fun!! Lots of laughter going on that day for sure! After “knowing” Beth Jansen online for the past few years, we finally met and I think we fell in love. At least I did with her! Such a funny girl!!

The whole experience was so much fun, and I absolutely cannot wait to see the DVD’s coming out in 2012!

This session was pretty special to me…many of you followed a story on facebook about my best friend who gave birth to a baby girl, Brynna Elizabeth, who sadly passed away 6 days after she was born. This situation was shocking to say the least, and has been horribly painful for so many people, and I am certainly no exception. This was the first newborn session I did after learning about the death of Brynna and I wasn’t sure how I would react to it…would it be a reminder of what was lost? Would I be able to hold it together? I was a little worried about my emotions taking over…

And to my surprise, I found it to be quite therapeutic to hold, cuddle and treasure this precious baby girl. She was beautiful. Healthy. And I found that holding her gave me a small bit of peace during the grief of losing Brynna. I spent extra time just looking at her and being grateful for life. Every baby truly is a gift from God…and this little one is no exception. Thank you so much to mama and grandma for bringing her to see me on that day. It really did give me relief, in those few hours, just being able to be with her…
