As a professional photographer, it’s always a joy to capture moments that are close to the heart. This session with Rayasat and her family was no different. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her parents, Raj, and her husband, for their maternity shoot, and now, seeing their little princess all grown up was truly special. Their maternity shoot was adorable, but this milestone session was magical!
Raj's Princess Moment
Raj, looking stunning in a custom pink gown, truly resembled a princess. I had suggested this gown for her session, and I’m so glad she trusted my advice! The soft pink tones complemented the delicate nature of this milestone session. Baby Rayasat wore a matching pink dress, and the two of them together were a vision of beauty. Their outfits harmonized perfectly, making the photos absolutely breathtaking.
We captured several family shots, and I have to say, the natural smiles from this little family melted my heart. Raj and her husband beamed with pride, and baby Rayasat gave us the most precious expressions! She was such a happy and cooperative little one, making the session a breeze.
Daddy’s Little Princess
For the second part of the session, Rayasat wore a beautiful white dress. The family photos we took with her dad were just too cute for words. It was clear that she was her daddy’s little princess, and the bond between them was evident in every shot.
Newborn-Style Poses and Wrapped Shots
Originally, we had planned for a newborn photography session when Rayasat was born, but due to some complications, she spent some time in the NICU. So, we decided to wait until she was close to 3 months old for this milestone session. Although we missed the typical newborn photo shoot window, Raj wanted to capture some newborn photography-style wrapped poses, and we made sure to do just that!
Rayasat’s Wrapped Poses
First, we wrapped Rayasat in a gorgeous mustard yellow cloth, paired with a matching headband adorned with yellow and white flowers. The earthy background, decorated with butterflies and white flowers, made for a serene and peaceful atmosphere. We also added funky pair of heart glasses and a little purse to give her a bougie look.
Next, we chose a pink wrap accented with deep magenta fabric underneath. Rayasat wore a delicate floral headband with soft pink flowers, and the scene was complemented by greenery and soft flowers, giving the image a fresh, vibrant vibe—a wonderful touch for any baby photoshoot.
For the third look, we went with a rich dark green wrap, paired with a matching headband. The addition of white flowers around her made this setup peaceful and magical.
Lastly, we wrapped her in a soft lavender blanket. This was one of my favorite setups! She wore a floral headband with light blue flowers and held a small plush bunny dressed in peach-pink. Her peaceful expression as she slept was the perfect way to end the session.
A Happy, Smiling Bub
Throughout the session, Rayasat was such a joy to photograph. She gave us the biggest smiles and was so full of life! Whether she was awake and giggling or peacefully sleeping, she was an absolute delight. Her personality shined through every frame, making this milestone session truly unforgettable.
It was a beautiful day spent with this lovely family. Thank you, Rayasat's parents, for trusting me to capture these precious moments. As a newborn photographer in Melbourne, I can’t wait to capture more of their precious memories in the future. It was an honor to be a part of your family's journey.
