Sometimes while I’m editing images, I can’t help but to enjoy the emotion you notice when all the color is gone. Black and white images always have such an impact on me – especially in moments where parents are holding their sweet new baby skin-to-skin. I love the contrast between these loving, nurturing embraces and the shadow and tattoos.
When parents come into our Pasadena, MD studio, they often plan on being in a few images while the focus is on baby’s first portraits but when I imagine the images that will be most cherished, these tender moments come to mind.
