As Nathaniel and Vera anticipated the arrival of their sweet little baby girl, they knew that she was precious beyond description before they even met her. They knew that once she arrived, she would change so very quickly, and they recognized how important it was to capture her in her “newness” so they could freeze time and always have a beautiful memory of this fleeting part of their family’s life. They drove over four hours to come to my New Palestine, Indiana studio!

Little Taya was a dream to photograph! She was the sweetest little baby girl and it was obvious she was very content and already sensed how much she was loved.

The connection between Daddy and Taya was so precious and the emotions doubled when Mommy joined in for photos of the new family. The same thing happened in a unique way when Mommy and Taya had photos together and then Daddy joined in for a few more family photos!

What is it about having a precious little life that is a part of both you and your soulmate that makes your heart just want to explode from all of the love inside? It really is impossible to put it into words.

Taya’s parents met overseas during a time when they were doing missions work. Both of them have a deep love for ministry! You can read more about their heartbeat and their ministry here:

As little Taya grows, these beautiful captures of this precious stage of life are frozen in time for Nathaniel, Vera and Taya to look back on and treasure forever!
