Under the attentive eyes of his mother, as he slept, he was captured in several poses by photographer Nilza Rejane, 53, in a studio in GravataĆ, in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre.
The infant, a son of Haitian immigrants, was born on a sidewalk in Rio Grande do Sul’s capital. Judith Fleurissaint Baguidy, the 39-year-old mother, even walked for 40 minutes to get to the birthing centre, but she was running late and had to give birth by the side of the road.
Photographer Nilza Rejane was moved when she heard about little Waldoās story. The birth was assisted by police officers LuĆ£ and Luana, who were passing by at the time. āThis story came up that touched my heart deeply. I saw the report of his birth on the sidewalk, and I was very emotional. I thought: Itās him!ā, says the photographer.
Upon learning of Waldoās birth, she contacted the journalist who had reported on the situation and asked for the childās parentsā phone number. Nilza wanted to do a newborn photoshoot for the baby. Free of charge, of course.
āI was in the studio and casually saw the article on the internet. Then I kept thinking to myself: āAlthough itās a beautiful scene, in a few years he could have another image of his birthā, says Nilza.
āI was moved by the story,ā she declares.

Judithās husband works in a bakery and couldnāt miss work. The mother, who works as a domestic but is on leave, accompanied the baby to the session, which started around 9 am and lasted until early afternoon.
āJudith, super anxious, spent the whole time by my side, worried about Waldoā, remembers the photographer.
She explains that the āNewbornā test is usually done in the first 10 days of life, which is when the baby has the deepest sleep and the bodyās flexibility is greatest. Take a break between pictures to allow the mother to breastfeed and change the babyās diaper. The infant that requires is rhythm.
āHeās an angel, Iām in love with himā, affectionately defines the photographer.
Judith gladly agreed to be shot with her son at the end of the shoot. The babyās best moments will be collected in a 20-page photo album and given to the family.

āShe speaks little Portuguese, she just said: āthank youā. And along with that āthank youā she had a huge smile. She didnāt need to say anything elseā, describes Nilza.
