Davina blended perfectly into our birth experience, and captured little tiny moments that would have been forgotten and lost forever. She allowed Bobby and I to be totally focused on us, and not have to worry about whether or not we were getting enough pictures. She was such an important part of my birth experience, yet I hardly remember her being there at all!
After Emery was born, Davina came to our home to do a little family session with all of us together, since Macie wasn't at Emery's birth. Those images are so special to me. I look at them, and not only see how my tiny baby has changed, but just how grown up my big girl became in just the changing of one day. Macie settled right into her new role as big sister. After spending just one night (a big one!) with us, I felt like Davina was just another member of the family!
This past fall we had another opportunity to work with Davina, for a road trip shoot. She and I put our heads together and worked on that shoot for weeks! Circumstances kept delaying it, but oh, was it worth the wait! Finding the perfect car and weather were challenges, but the day that we ended up doing the shoot couldn't have been better. All of the little elements that we worked on came together perfectly and couldn't have been more "us"!
If you've never had the opportunity to have someone like Davina spend time with your family and take pictures, I'd encourage you to do so. There is just nothing like looking at your family through the eyes (and lense!) of a talented photographer! Thank you Davina, for being a friend, surrogate family member, and for providing us the opportunity to work with you!
You can see some of our sessions on her blog here, here, and here.
