Kwenama ➳ Newborn / by Abigail Smith

Welcome to the World, Kwenama

There’s something holy about the stillness of a sleeping newborn.

During Kwenama’s session, time seemed to slow down. He slept so peacefully—curled into gentle poses. As I watched him dream, I couldn’t help but be reminded of how sacred life is when it begins.

Kwenama, your name already carries weight. It means “He who brings peace,” and your presence did just that. In a world that often feels noisy and chaotic, you were a quiet reminder that calm still exists. You reminded me that each soul arrives with its own energy, its own rhythm, its own divine light.

You may be small now, but within you are gifts the world has never seen before. Talents that will unfold in their own time. A voice that will one day speak truth. A heart that will love deeply. And a spirit that is already radiating peace.

To your parents—thank you for allowing me into this sacred space with you. It’s such a privilege to witness this chapter of your story.

May your days with Kwenama be filled with wonder. May you always remember these first quiet moments—where nothing needed to be said, because his very presence was enough.

Welcome to the world, sweet boy. You are already so loved.
