One of the things I feel most privileged about in this work is often being one of the first people parents tell about their new baby.
Walking into a home in those early days is special. Everything feels a little different. There’s the exhaustion, the tenderness, the figuring-it-out-as-you-go, and so much love all happening at once.
As a mom who has given birth twice, I know how hard those early weeks can be. They can be beautiful and joyful and emotional and overwhelming, sometimes all in the same hour.
I love seeing families surrounded by people who are there to support them, especially in those early days when everything is new.
For this Santa Clara newborn session, the grandparents had flown in to be with the new parents and welcome their new baby. We included them too: the whole family together, grandparents with their newest grandchild, and the people who showed up for these new parents during such an important season.
I feel so lucky that my job allows me to document not just a new baby, but the people who are loving and supporting a growing family too. How amazing she will have all these images of her family in her early days to look back ok when she’s older.
