There are certain moments and the tiniest of details that deserve to be honoured, not just remembered.
Those first few weeks with your newborn are a blur of sleepy feeds, quiet awe, and emotions that feel almost too big for words. Somewhere in all of that — you became someone new. So did they.
This is the beginning of everything.
When I photograph newborns, I’m not just taking photos. I’m capturing a feeling. A moment. A soft breath between one chapter and the next.
I focus on capturing those subtle, honest details — the ones you’ll one day trace with your fingertips, remembering just how tiny they were.
My sessions are slow, simple, and deeply intentional. With gentle posing and a calm environment, I create space for connection — not perfection.
Because while milestone photos will come later, these images are different. They’re raw. They’re real. And they’re yours.
Long after the newborn phase fades, these photographs will hold what words can’t; the softness of those first days. The bond you didn’t even know had already formed. The beginning.
