These are the days. The days when your entire life — body and soul — have changed. The days when a tiny, squishy human has made the trip from womb to homestead. You are tired, emotional, a little broken, and starry eyed with wonder. You wonder what was so important in your life before this, because for these first few weeks, THIS is all there is. You are starstruck to meet this person, and didn’t know such a capacity for love existed before meeting them.
My newborn sessions aren’t what one might expect. I don’t wrap your darling one in fabrics and post them in adorable sleepy poses. I don’t put them in baskets or suitcases. My heart is to tell the story of these days. The non-stop nursing, the burp cloths, the shhhhhing and swaying, and the ways you and your partner have found to support one another through it all.
I’ve had the honor of photographing Adam & Victoria’s love story, starting with their wedding, through their pregnancy. And now with their sweet Veda girl.
My heart is full.
Charles & Winnie celebrated 30 years of marriage with a blustery photo shoot with yours truly.
I first met Nick & Courtney just under 3 years ago at a wedding. I was the photographer sneaking out to nurse her 4 month old daughter in the coordinator’s office, and they were looking dapper as part of the wedding party. Fast forward to last September where we found our paths crossing at yet another wedding, where they were 5 months pregnant and part of yet another gorgeous wedding party I was photographing. The universe has a funny way of crossing paths at just the right time.
