Zemvelo ➳ Swaddle Session by Abigail Smith

Every newborn session is a testament to the miracle of life. Her name, Zemvelo, means the natural one or the way of life, a name that felt deeply fitting for a little one who had arrived into the world with so much promise.

Zemvelo’s presence was a reminder that each life is a story unfolding, a journey that begins with the smallest of steps but carries within it a lifetime of growth, love, and change.

Newborn sessions hold a special place in my heart because they capture a fleeting moment—a moment when everything is still and pure. For the parents, it’s a time to look at their baby, to breathe in the miracle of their new arrival, and to hold those memories close. For the photographer, it’s a chance to create something timeless that will be treasured for years to come.

Zemvelo’s name is one that will carry weight throughout her life. The natural one. It is a name that connects her to the world, to her ancestors, to the earth beneath her feet. She is part of a legacy—one that will see her grow, learn, and flourish. These first photographs will one day be reminders of who she was at the very beginning, capturing the essence of her journey from the moment she entered this world.

Newborn sessions aren’t just about taking beautiful photos—they’re about capturing the heart and soul of those early days. They are about preserving a time that, once passed, cannot be recaptured. As the years go on, these images will be a reminder of how tiny and perfect little Zemvelo once was, of how her family held her close and loved her fiercely from day one.

If you’re expecting or know someone who is, I encourage you to capture these fleeting moments. A newborn session is an investment in memories that will be cherished forever.

Holy-Holly ➳ Baby Portraits by Abigail Smith

Some little ones have a way of lighting up a room with their energy and charm, and 11-month-old Holy-Holly is one of them. From the moment she arrived for her session, her radiant smiles and bubbly giggles filled the air with joy. Her happiness was contagious, and it was impossible not to smile along with her.

Holy-Holly has such a unique way of expressing herself, and one of the most adorable things she did during the shoot was wrinkling her nose when she smiled—a gesture so full of personality and sweetness that I couldn’t help but capture it over and over. It’s these little quirks and fleeting moments that make childhood so precious.

The setup for her session was intentionally simple and elegant, allowing her bright spirit to take center stage. Against the clean backdrop, Holy-Holly’s vibrant personality truly shone. Her joy, curiosity, and playful nature created timeless images that beautifully reflected her personality. Every giggle and sparkle in her eyes told a story of pure innocence and happiness—a celebration of the incredible stage she’s at right now, just shy of her first birthday.

To Holy-Holly: May you always carry that radiant smile and nose-wrinkling charm wherever life takes you. You’re a little ray of sunshine, and it was a joy to capture these moments that reflect the light you bring into the world.
