2015 here we come! It is time to say good bye to another year and bring in the new one! Emma Stasko Photography will be making some changes for the new year. On top of my regular newborn sessions I will now be offering birthing sessions! I am so excited about this new adventure. I had the honor of photographing 2 births this year and just fell completely in love with it. Seeing and photographing a new life coming into this world is something so special and amazing. I will be very limited on the amount of birthing sessions I offer, it requires a lot of on call time day and night for each session. As well as offering birthing sessions, there will also be discounts available for booking newborn and birth sessions together.
Getting the most from your Christmas Photos does not have to be frustrating or take time away from the moment! With Christmas only a week away, here are some tips and tricks to get the best images Christmas morning!
First of all, I know how much you want to capture every moment of your children opening their presents, but you don’t have to be stuck behind a camera the whole time to do that. You can be part of Christmas and still get those photos, but how? Here are a few ideas:
This is a story about the birth of Brinley, my beautiful niece! This was my first time photographing a birth and it is not something I will soon forget. To me, the birth of a child is the most beautiful thing on the planet, to be able to capture that beauty the way photographers do is something special. If you have had children you know that the day your baby is born becomes more and more cloudy overtime, some memories fade, others don’t. It isn’t that we don’t want to remember every single detail, but with the excitement, craziness, and everything else going on, it is hard to remember.
The day Brinley was born I received a call at 6 in the morning saying they where on their way to the hospital. Keep in mind, I live in Austin now, they live in Houston. So I very quickly packed up my things and left for Houston. I got updates on the way and about half way there we realized that I may not make it. Brinleys Mom was 7cm dilated, then 8, then 9. I was still about 30 minutes away when she was fully dilated and ready to push. I drove as quickly as I could and literally ran as fast as I could into the hospital hoping and praying the whole time that I would make it. Well, thankfully I made it just in time! Mommy was doing so great, Dad right by her side, and family all around. It was a perfect picture of love and support, the support every woman needs when they are about to push out a baby! Before we knew it a perfect baby girl entered the world, dark brown hair, perfect dimples, just perfect in every way.
The love and bond between and Mother is an incredible thing, all Baby Brinley wanted was to be in her Mother’s arms, feeling her warmth and love. To be able to witness and capture this moment was unforgettable and an honor. I am very excited to announce that I will be offering a very limited number of birth sessions next year. If you are interested in booking your birth session please contact me through my website.

I went to Houston to photograph this beautiful family again. They came to see me for their newborns photos when I was still living there and it is always fun at the 6 month sessions to see how much these little ones have grown. This family is so beautiful in every way and it is so much fun to photograph them and play with these ADORABLE little girls.
