tampa | wedding and portrait photographer
When I went to photograph Hope, Arthur and their little darling Raimah about a month ago, I met a wonderful family filled with anticipation. They were ecstatic to see the new love of their lives, and you just know it’s going to be a great day when the time comes.
And indeed it was: the mere mention of Josiah lights up everybody’s faces, and I cannot express how amazing it was to be there photographing him already, just nineteen days after he was born. He was so delicate, and his parents and his big sister are so full of joy and love. They’re beautiful people – Hope, Arthur, Raimah, and now, Josiah – and I loved being there to capture the moment.
I observed that Raimah is growing up so fast and that she’s got mommy’s look. The little one, Josiah, has daddy’s look. Arthur said, “Well, they all start like that and then they eventually take Mommy’s beauty.” So sweet!
I also noticed that Josiah’s birthday was very timely – Hope celebrated hers last February 5th, and the baby was born on February 2nd – talk about receiving the greatest gift yet! To Hope and Arthur, and their two darling angels, I wish you much happiness.
I told you already but I can’t help but say it again: I love love love this session. They are a very beautiful family. Their photos are so full of love. Thank you for sharing this with us
Two words…BLOWN AWAY! These pictures really capture the joy and meaning of family. We opened the blog post with great anticipation and from start to finsih it was a “WOW” experience. The photos of Josiah in the basket and him sucking his thumb are priceless. The one with Raimah and her baby brother just fills our heart with such joy and pride. The playful scene in the backyard with touches of your undeniable creative genius helps us to recover the PAST and also to discover the beauty of NOW…and on and on…
As always Sandra, your talent and creativity is second to none. Babies are sometimes so unpredictable, but you were patient and flexible. Even when Josiah needed a break to nurse, you captured that moment in time with such elegance and grace. You’ve given us memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.
Thank You,
Hope, Arthur, Raimah, Josiah
