Williams ~ Newborn Photography Spokane, WA

You might recognize this sweet family from their recent Fresh Baby photos. They also booked their Newborn Lifestyle session with me, and it was amazing to see how much their little son developed and changed in just 2 weeks!

 

Newborn sessions can sometimes be rough on parents. You’re still getting used to life with a new little person, you’re likely sleep deprived, fragile, yearning for the day you feel like “yourselves” again… it’s a wild, vulnerable time. (I understand; I’ve been there, twice.) My heart is bent toward parents during this season (which is why I also offer my services as a Postpartum Doula), and I aim for our session to be as stress-free as possible.

 

More often than not, baby cries during much of our session; there are periods of soothing, nursing, diapering. This is all expected, hence my longer newborn sessions. I want parents to feel as relaxed as possible, and to have all the time needed to comfort and attend to their newborn. The most difficult part for me is observing through my lens, the plenitude of beautiful, tender moments (even amidst what might feel like chaos), yet only being able to share this once you see your images for yourselves… My hope is that in looking back, you are able to see beauty in the moments of chaos, and in doing so, be inspired to find them daily in the moments, hours, days that feel mundane or wild, but are yet filled with moments to breathe deeply, cherish fully, live presently in.

 

With this in mind, thank you so much Garrett and Cari, for inviting me to capture such a special time in your lives. Congratulations on the birth of your sweet son, Eric! May these images evoke joyous memories for many years to come.
