Little Emmanuella: God's gift from Nigeria!

I had the joy of photographing a wonderful and loving family this past weekend at their home. Victor & his wife Omo are from Nigeria. Talk about inspiring - they came to the U.S. 3 years ago with nothing, and now have a brand new house & a bouncing baby girl! After battling infertility for several years, they found out they were expecting a child, and so this miracle baby is named Emmanuella meaning "God is with us." Indeed He is! :) Here are a few photos from our session together.

I love baby yawns :)

Isn't she a doll?

Victor in his authentic African garments - don't you love it!

Aww, daddy's little girl ♥
