Olivia & Sylvia ➳ Lifestyle Session by Abigail Smith

The first principles of the camera were written down around between 470-390 BC and belong to the Chinese philosopher Mozi, he referred to this device as a “collecting plate” or charmingly … a “locked treasure room”.

The camera or the concept has been around for an astonishingly long time and painstakingly perfected, today basically everyone has a camera with them at any given moment, why I wonder? I think as humans we’ve always wanted to capture, freeze in time, relive and share the memories of our experiences that which is most important and precious to us. I cannot think of a better use of this incredible invention than to freeze in time the ages and stages of the ones we most love.

Capturing these little treasures just going about their every day little lives made for one of my favourite session ever… how can it be work when you’re having so much fun 😜I like to think of mom and dad looking back on these photos years from now and feeling their hearts swell with love remembering their girls at this precious age.

Lente ➳ Newborn Lifestyle by Abigail Smith

I was excited when Julie wanted a relaxed in home session to document Lente's arrival. I absolutely love watching the beautiful connection between parents and their newborn. When held by one of her parents, Lente was immediately drawn to studying their faces. I wondered what she was thinking, perhaps she was just as happy to finally see her parents faces as they were to see hers.
