Each newborn session is different, just like each newborn and each family. But we are all human, so there’s some things that will happen that will be similar for all of us.
I wish for you to know that I am patient, feeding a newborn breast or bottle takes time. It isn’t over in 5 minutes and that’s totally normal. So we will go with the flow, I will capture this time if you wish or happily give you privacy. I will often sit nearby and chat to about your story or share mine, whatever puts you at ease in this moment.
Sometimes bub needs some settling, the kind that requires awkward giggling and/or pacing up and down the hallway till they feel held and find calm, this is also completely normal and totally fine, I will happily do the awkward walk jiggle thingy for you, If you weren’t sure I kind of love babies.
If there are older sibling/s the settling in period can be a difficult one, each child takes on a new sibling in their own way. Again here, I find patience and letting them have a little control over themselves can help ease the whole lady with a camera in my face and baby that keep my mum’s hands full so she can’t play angst at bay. The more comfortable and relaxed you are the more the baby and children will feel at ease. This can be a great reason to have your session at home, where you have all the things you need and everyone feels at home, content in the space.
Honestly, my main aim for your session other than to capture this precious time for you is to create a space of calm and acceptance, to meet you where you are and help you ease into the motherhood journey. Embracing slow, change and the wild love that becoming a parent brings.
I will guide you through at a comfortable pace, to get a variety of images to remember this beautiful time buy. It takes as long as it takes, so soak up the moment, the day, your new baby and your loved ones. Let go of the idea of perfection and embrace this time for what it is. I’ll make sure to keep up my end of the deal and show you the magic in embracing the chaos.
If your interested in booking a session, get in touch. I’d love to create something beautiful with you.
