From First Dance to First Baby!

It is always such an honor to be contacted by a couple whose wedding we photographed to learn that they are expecting a child. There is a comfort level and a thrill to be asked to photograph their maternity images and soon-to-come baby photographs. Such was the case with Erin and Paul. We photographed their wedding last October and had a blast. Now to be called to document another very important time in their lives is very rewarding and a true honor. We know that these images will be enjoyed for decades to come. And to photograph a couple from their first dance to their first baby is thrilling. Who knows, perhaps senior photos will come soon… well in a few years anyway!   

We also love seeing how our wedding couples are doing. We were with them their entire wedding day and more including the planning, meetings, etc. We really get to know them which helps us capture imagery that reflects who they are on their wedding day. Maternity images can be rather personal. And we can photograph them allowing a comfort level that perhaps a photographer that they don’t know can provide. It is truly an honor! We are documenting these lives. We take it as a great responsibility. 

We are more excited for Erin and Paul as they choose our Bella Baby Program meaning that we’ll be back with them for newborn baby photos, 3 months old, 6 months old, 9 months old, and finally at her first year birthday with a cake smashing photo session. The package comes with a Bella Baby Book highlighting a variety of photos from each session. It’s a great way to make sure you capture your baby’s first year! 

We look forward to meeting Erin and Paul’s baby girl due to arrive around August 21st. We will be offering another blog post once she arrives! Thanks again Erin and Paul for the trust in our services. We are so happy for you both and for the coming of your new daughter. -Rick and Jodi Bella – Bella Photography Studios
