Their newest addition, Joseph was born this past August. Their older daughter, Caroline, is still a little girl herself, at just over two years old. I knew in order to hold her attention and get some sweet shots, we’d have to bring her in at the right moment and work quickly. So I waited until Joseph was asleep on the bed to pull Caroline into the mix to check him out. Her curiosity and wonderment were captured perfectly, before she had enough and zipped off.
The Selection
Erica and Joe selected images to turn into gallery wraps to be displayed in their bedroom, as well as in the children’s bedroom. The images they settled on commemorate the early days of each child and the two of them together as new siblings. They’re beautiful portraits which they’ll all be able to enjoy as the kids get older. The Gilligan’s also have a variety of tabletop frames for displaying smaller prints around their home, which they plan to update over time.
The whole session with this family was a breeze. Little Joseph slept throughout much of the session and Caroline’s participation was perfect. I look forward to working with them again and hope they’re as pleased with how the images came out as I am.
