Mihir ➳ Newborn Session / by Abigail Smith

Welcome to the World, Mihir

There is something holy about holding a newborn. Time pauses. The world softens. And in that hush, you’re reminded: life is a miracle.

I had the honor of photographing baby Mihir—just days new, wrapped in wonder, his tiny chest rising and falling in the rhythm of brand new breath. A whole new soul, sent into this world with a purpose only he can fulfill.

Mihir’s parents brought something special with them to the session: a reindeer hide, gifted by a friend. Worn with stories and woven with meaning. A reminder that though he is new, Mihir is part of something vast. A lineage. A story. A sacred unfolding.

Moments like these leave me in awe. Because when I look at a newborn, I don’t just see a baby—I see potential. A soul sent here with unique gifts, unseen talents, and a light that only he carries. Mihir might not know it yet, but the world will be changed by his presence. He has a role no one else can play. He is already enough, already sacred, already belonging.

It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of life, to forget that each of us once entered this world-pure, precious, full of promise. But when I photograph newborns, I remember. And I am reminded of how important it is to honour that sacred beginning in all of us.

Welcome, sweet Mihir. May your life be rooted in love, and may your path be lit with purpose.

We can’t wait to see the beauty you bring into the world. 🌿
