I will always be passionate about maternity & newborn portraits.
Not just because I get to snuggle the little babies.
Not just because I get to help understand what’s happening inside his partner that’s she does not yet have words for.
Not just because I get to let moms know that everything happening inside them is normal and encourage them in a way that only a mom who’s been there could.
Not just because I get to pass on the knowledge I’ve learned about comforting babies, sleeping/feeding tips.
They’re a passion of mine because more than any other journey I’ve been on, motherhood has been the most beautiful.
Every age and stage will challenge you in new ways. And once you think you’ve got it down, it changes.
It challenges you in ways nothing else can.
To do it well requires you to constantly “look in the mirror” and deal with your own shortcomings so you can be the most authentic, grown version of yourself that your child needs.
And each one… they are different and need you to show up in a different way.
It’s a journey filled with emotion.
Ups and downs.
Constant grief due to the constant evolving as each year brings a new version of you and your child.
And there are days where you feel inadequate. Like you’re failing or have failed. And there are days where you will experience inexplicable hope and joy.
My advice… embrace them all.
Experience them all.
Each of them have something important to teach you about your child and yourself. 🤍
