The First Chapter of Eryn’s Life: A Newborn Session to Remember

There is something profoundly sacred about the very beginning of a life—a fresh chapter written with infinite possibility, vulnerability, and love. Meeting Eryn in this newborn session was like stepping gently into a world filled with pure wonder, where every breath, every tiny movement, tells a story of newness and hope.

Eryn’s first chapter is more than just the days after birth—it’s a tender unfolding of identity, of becoming, of a precious soul stepping into the light for the very first time. Eryn’s innocence radiated a quiet strength that only those who have just arrived in this world can possess.

What made this session even more heartwarming was the presence of her big brother, a lively and loving three-year-old who embraced his role with such sweetness and cooperation. His gentle curiosity and calm spirit created a beautiful connection, weaving a thread of sibling love into this new chapter. Watching them together reminded me how family shapes our story from the very start.

Capturing these first moments is a gift—not only for the family but for Eryn’s journey ahead. Each little yawn, each delicate finger curl, whispers the beginning of a life full of dreams yet to be discovered. In these still, gentle frames, we witness the miracle of arrival and the promise of all that is to come.

This session was a reminder: life’s first chapter is a sacred story worth cherishing, a foundation built on love, tenderness, and belonging. Through this lens, we honour Eryn’s unique journey—a beautiful start, grounded in hope and the purest form of being.

If you’re preparing to welcome your little one or wish to preserve these fleeting, magical moments—perhaps alongside siblings too—I invite you to connect with me. Let’s create a newborn session that holds space for your family’s story—one filled with compassion, care, and heart. Because these first chapters deserve to be remembered, cherished, and celebrated for a lifetime.

Reach out today, and let’s begin this beautiful journey together.

Maline ➳ Swaddle Session /  by Abigail Smith

There is something truly divine about a newborn baby — a quiet, sacred energy that fills the room and reminds us of just how miraculous life really is. When I photographed baby Maline, I felt that deep sense of wonder again. So tiny, so perfect, and still so close to the heavens she came from.

Her session was bathed in soft pinks and creamy whites — gentle tones that mirrored her peaceful presence and innocence.

These early days slip by so quickly. The sleepy yawns, the tiny fingers, the delicate eyelashes — they change in the blink of an eye. And yet, these are the moments we most long to remember.

Dear mama-to-be,

I know it may feel like there are a thousand things to do before baby arrives. But trust me — this time is sacred, and your newborn deserves to be celebrated and remembered in a way that feels just as sacred.

A newborn session is more than just photos. It’s a moment of pause. A way to honour this incredible life you’ve brought into the world. It’s a way to remember how it all began — when love first took form in your arms.

Let Maline’s session be a soft reminder: your baby’s first days are a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Let’s hold onto them, beautifully.

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.

Sinakhokonke ➳ Cake Smash /  by Abigail Smith

Sinakhokonke’s Cake Smash

There’s something incredibly sacred about witnessing a little one turn one. It’s not just a milestone—it’s a celebration of life, growth, and the divine unfolding of a tiny soul’s first year on Earth.

Sweet Sinakhokonke came into the studio with eyes full of wonder and a smile that could melt the hardest of hearts. From the moment we began, he gifted us with expression after expression—wide-eyed curiosity, bursts of giggles, and those cheeky little grins that only a one-year-old can give.

And when we brought out the cake? Pure joy. He dove in with enthusiasm, delighting in the sheer fun of making a mess. His laughter reminding us of the simple beauty in being fully present, fully alive.

Every session I capture holds a deeper meaning for me. As a spiritual life coach and photographer, I see more than just a cute baby and a cake. I see a soul just beginning their journey… a child named Sinakhokonke—which means We have everything—already living up to his name. He came into this world carrying light, laughter, and the promise of something special.

It’s a humbling thought: that this little boy will one day grow into a man with his own dreams, gifts, and purpose. And right now, in these sweet and sacred moments, we celebrate the beginning of that journey.

Happy first birthday, Sinakhokonke. May your days be filled with joy, your steps guided by love, and your spirit always rooted in the truth of who you are.

Mason & Olivia ➳ Christmas Baby Portraits /  by Abigail Smith

There’s something magical about the joy of Christmas, and capturing cousins Mason and Olivia together made this season feel even brighter. These two little ones brought so much personality to their Christmas baby portrait session!

Mason was an absolute bundle of energy, full of smiles and laughter that lit up the room. He loved every moment of the session, his playful nature shining in every photo. Olivia, on the other hand, was more reserved, her sweet shyness adding a soft and tender touch to the portraits. Together, their unique personalities created the perfect blend of festive cheer and heartwarming sweetness.

What made this session even more special was knowing how excited their grandparents were to see the final images. These photos will surely be cherished keepsakes for years to come, celebrating not just Christmas but the beautiful bond between cousins.

Mason and Olivia, you made this holiday season unforgettable with your smiles, laughter, and love. Wishing your family a Christmas filled with warmth, joy, and wonderful memories!

Holy-Holly ➳ Baby Portraits /  by Abigail Smith

Some little ones have a way of lighting up a room with their energy and charm, and 11-month-old Holy-Holly is one of them. From the moment she arrived for her session, her radiant smiles and bubbly giggles filled the air with joy. Her happiness was contagious, and it was impossible not to smile along with her.

Holy-Holly has such a unique way of expressing herself, and one of the most adorable things she did during the shoot was wrinkling her nose when she smiled—a gesture so full of personality and sweetness that I couldn’t help but capture it over and over. It’s these little quirks and fleeting moments that make childhood so precious.

The setup for her session was intentionally simple and elegant, allowing her bright spirit to take center stage. Against the clean backdrop, Holy-Holly’s vibrant personality truly shone. Her joy, curiosity, and playful nature created timeless images that beautifully reflected her personality. Every giggle and sparkle in her eyes told a story of pure innocence and happiness—a celebration of the incredible stage she’s at right now, just shy of her first birthday.

To Holy-Holly: May you always carry that radiant smile and nose-wrinkling charm wherever life takes you. You’re a little ray of sunshine, and it was a joy to capture these moments that reflect the light you bring into the world.
