pregnancy & newborn

Those first few days after birth are full of awe and beauty but very often forgotten in the post-birth haze.

I always tread lightly in the presence of newness.

Having a relaxed and positive atmosphere in your home pre- & post-birth is crucial.

During the first week of life, your baby will be processing their outer world. To arrive as a photographer and begin manipulating the environment is not what your baby needs. Instead, they need a soft landing. Likewise, as you gear up to birth your baby, you should be held and supported, not made to feel like someone modeling a belly.

Becoming a new parent or a sibling encompasses so many emotions and having authentic images to reflect on in later years can be cathartic and fulfilling.

If you would like photographs of your pregnancy as well as your new baby, take a look at my offering that tells the before-and-after story of your family’s transition. There is also an option to document the first year over milestone intervals. Have a look at the options below.
