When Mirei was just 8 days old, we had some newborn pictures taken by Stephanie Elizabeth Photography to capture her first moments as well as our first portraits as a family. I love the dreamy look of her natural light photographs, and we asked for a balanced mix of lifestyle photos as well as her more traditional posed photos. She was amazing — we love how beautifully the pictures came out and will treasure them for years!
The above photo of Mirei with the mobile hanging over her is my favorite. I had been looking at this beautiful mobile on Etsy, and my girlfriends all pitched in together to gift it to me at my baby shower back in December. I wanted to include it into one of the photos because it’s so gorgeous and because of the sentimental significance of it, and Stephanie incorporated it in such a lovely way.
With the lovely photos, I was able to design birth announcements for Mirei to send out to family and friends. I rarely get to work on personal design projects for myself these days so it was fun and I’m pleased with how they turned out. π
