You think you’ll remember every little detail.

The tiny lips. The soft cheeks. The way her hand fit beside her face. How impossibly small she felt when you held her.

But babies change so quietly that sometimes you don’t realize a version of them is gone until you look back at a photograph.

That is why I love newborn photos like this one.

Not because she is posed perfectly.

Because one day her mama will look at this and remember just how little her girl once was.

And for a minute, she gets to have this version of her back.

Teddy is the baby of six.

Which means there are already five bigger childhoods happening all around him. Five older siblings growing, changing, making noise, needing things, and loving on the newest little person in their family.

And right now, Teddy is still this small.

Small enough to curl up beside a tiny bear.
Small enough for his whole hand to barely wrap around it.
Small enough that one day, his mama will look at this photo and wonder how he ever fit here.

Teddy with his teddy.

Because the sweetest thing about newborn photos isn’t that babies stay this little.

It’s that we get to remember when they were.

I have a feeling these two are going to be trouble together.

It’s the way they’re looking at each other for me.

Like they already have secrets.
Like they already understand each other.
Like Mom is going to be the one trying not to laugh when she’s supposed to be saying, “We do not do that.”

These are the pictures I love most.

Not everyone looking at the camera.
Not everyone perfectly posed.

Just a tiny little moment where you can already see the relationship forming.

Because babies don’t stay babies, but this look between them?

I have a feeling that part is going to stick around for a very long time.

I keep thinking about how fast childhood moves.

One minute they’re carrying a teddy bear everywhere they go.

Then somehow, that little phase is already a memory.

That’s a big part of why I’ve been changing the way I photograph childhood.

I don’t just want to give you pretty pictures.

I want to give you something that feels like their childhood when you look back at it. 🤎

That’s what I want every session at Shelly Sims Photography to become.
