Capturing Precious Moments: Nora Mae Perkins at Perkins Photography

Introduction:

There are few joys in life that can compare to the arrival of a new grandchild. Every moment spent with them is a treasured memory, and as a grandparent, there’s nothing quite as rewarding as capturing those precious moments on camera. Today, I want to share the heartwarming story of photographing my granddaughter, Nora Mae Perkins, at Perkins Photography. It was a journey filled with love, patience, and the undeniable beauty of a growing family.

First Session – Not Having It:

As any experienced photographer knows, working with little ones can be both delightful and challenging. During Nora Mae’s first photo session, she wasn’t quite ready for the spotlight. As Nanny, I was eager to capture her every smile and expression, but she had other plans. Perhaps she was too curious about the world around her, and sitting still for photos didn’t align with her exploratory nature. Nevertheless, we managed to capture a few parent shots that showcased her adorable personality.

Second Session – She Rocked It:

Mommy’s love and intuition can work wonders. A few days later, my daughter in law brought Nora Mae back to the studio for a second photo session. This time, she was more at ease, as if she knew she was in a safe and familiar place. It was truly heartwarming to see how she had grown more comfortable in such a short time. The second session proved to be a resounding success, capturing Nora Mae’s radiant smile and joyous spirit.

A Family Affair:

Photographing Nora Mae became a beautiful family affair. Not only did her mommy bring her back for the second session, but her other “Grandie” was there too, watching and lending a helping hand. The presence of loved ones during the photo session added an extra layer of warmth and love to the atmosphere. It was a special moment for us all as we witnessed the bond between generations deepening.

A Bundle of Joy:

Nora Mae, came into the world on June 19, 2023 at 11:56 PM. Weighing 8 pounds 2 ounces and measuring 20 1/2 inches long, was a perfect little bundle of joy. As the second granddaughter in the family, she brought even more love and happiness into our lives. Looking at her, it’s evident that she takes after her daddy, with striking resemblances that warm our hearts.

Little Details:

As a photographer and a grandparent, I was particularly captivated by the little details that made Nora Mae unique. Her head full of dark hair hints at a future of wavy locks, a feature that adds to her charm. Her tiny hands with long fingers and adorable little toes that tuck under each other, creating the illusion of having only four toes on each foot, make her all the more endearing.

Smiles and Cuddles:

Nora Mae’s sweet disposition shines through every photograph. She is a little bundle of joy who loves to smile and cuddle. As her nanny, I cherish every moment spent cuddling and showering her with love. The camera has become a powerful tool to freeze these heartwarming moments, allowing us to revisit them whenever we desire.

Conclusion:

Photographing Nora Mae Perkins at Perkins Photography has been an unforgettable journey filled with love, patience, and precious moments. As she continues to grow and flourish, I eagerly await every opportunity to capture her milestones and expressions through the lens of a camera. These photographs will serve as cherished memories of a little girl who has brought immense happiness to our family. Nora Mae, with her radiant smile and loving spirit, has made us all realize just how beautiful life can be.
