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

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.

Mihir ➳ Newborn Session

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. 🌿

Kwenama ➳ Newborn

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.

Kiara ➳ Newborn

Some gifts are more than just presents—they are moments captured in time, memories preserved forever. Baby Kiara’s newborn session was one of those gifts, given with love by a dear friend who wanted to celebrate her arrival in the most meaningful way.

From the moment I met Kiara, I could see she was pure magic—delicate, peaceful, and already deeply cherished. There is something incredibly special about photographing a newborn, knowing that in just a few weeks, they will grow and change so quickly. These first days are fleeting, and I feel honored to preserve them for families to hold onto forever.

The name Kiara has various meanings across cultures, each as lovely as the little girl who carries it. In Italian, Kiara (Chiara) means light or bright, symbolizing radiance and purity. In Irish, it means little dark one, a poetic nod to depth and mystery. Whether seen as a beacon of light or a soul with quiet depth, Kiara already embodies the beauty of her name.

One of my favorite images is of Kiara resting in a tiny bucket, placed delicately on a chair and surrounded by soft pink roses. There is something so timeless about this portrait—the contrast of her tiny, perfect form against the blooms. It feels like a symbol of how she is cradled by love, not just in this moment, but always.

Newborn photography is more than just photos; it’s a way to hold onto these first precious days. Kiara’s session was a reminder of how meaningful these images will be in the years to come—when she is no longer this small, when these moments are distant but never forgotten.

To the friend who gifted this session—you gave more than just photographs. You gave a family the gift of memories, the chance to look back and remember just how tiny and loved their little girl was in her very first days.

Kiara, little light, may you always shine brightly in this world.

Newborn moments are fleeting, but the memories can last a lifetime. If you’re expecting or know someone who is, a newborn session is a beautiful way to capture the love, joy, and tiny details of those first precious days.

Zemvelo ➳ Swaddle Session

Every newborn session is a testament to the miracle of life. Her name, Zemvelo, means the natural one or the way of life, a name that felt deeply fitting for a little one who had arrived into the world with so much promise.

Zemvelo’s presence was a reminder that each life is a story unfolding, a journey that begins with the smallest of steps but carries within it a lifetime of growth, love, and change.

Newborn sessions hold a special place in my heart because they capture a fleeting moment—a moment when everything is still and pure. For the parents, it’s a time to look at their baby, to breathe in the miracle of their new arrival, and to hold those memories close. For the photographer, it’s a chance to create something timeless that will be treasured for years to come.

Zemvelo’s name is one that will carry weight throughout her life. The natural one. It is a name that connects her to the world, to her ancestors, to the earth beneath her feet. She is part of a legacy—one that will see her grow, learn, and flourish. These first photographs will one day be reminders of who she was at the very beginning, capturing the essence of her journey from the moment she entered this world.

Newborn sessions aren’t just about taking beautiful photos—they’re about capturing the heart and soul of those early days. They are about preserving a time that, once passed, cannot be recaptured. As the years go on, these images will be a reminder of how tiny and perfect little Zemvelo once was, of how her family held her close and loved her fiercely from day one.

If you’re expecting or know someone who is, I encourage you to capture these fleeting moments. A newborn session is an investment in memories that will be cherished forever.

Langelihle ➳ Newborn

There’s something so sacred about a newborn session—those tiny fingers, the softest wisps of hair, the way a baby curls up so perfectly, still remembering the warmth of the womb. Little Langelihle’s session was one of those moments where time seemed to stand still.

His name, Langelihle, means beautiful day, and that’s exactly what his session felt like—a quiet, beautiful moment in time, filled with peace and tenderness. As he slept soundly, wrapped in soft fabrics, I couldn’t help but think of the incredible journey ahead of him. One day, he will outgrow his tiny fingers and toes, but these images will always hold the memory of how small, how loved, and how perfect he was in his very first days.

Choosing the Right Newborn Photographer

Newborn photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about preserving a fleeting moment, creating images that will be cherished for a lifetime. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a newborn photographer:

1. Safety First

Your baby’s comfort and safety should always be the top priority. A professional newborn photographer should know how to handle and pose newborns safely while ensuring a relaxed and gentle experience.

2. Experience & Style

Every photographer has a unique style—some prefer soft, natural light and dreamy pastels, while others lean toward bold and artistic setups. Take a look at their portfolio to see if their style resonates with you.

3. Patience & Flexibility

Newborn sessions can be unpredictable! Babies may need extra time to settle, feed, or simply be comforted. Choosing a photographer who is patient and understands the delicate rhythm of newborns makes all the difference.

4. A Meaningful Experience

These first days go by so quickly, and your newborn session should be a beautiful experience, not just a task to check off. Find someone who creates a calm, loving space—one where you can pause, breathe, and soak in the magic of your baby’s early days.

As baby Langelihle’s session came to an end, I felt so grateful to be able to capture these moments for his family. One day, these photographs will serve as a time capsule, bringing his loved ones back to these tender first days of his life. They will remember how tiny he was, how peacefully he slept, and how his presence made every day feel more beautiful.

If you’re expecting a little one or looking for the perfect gift for an expecting family, a newborn session is one of the most meaningful investments you can make.

Deandre ➳ Newborn

There are some stories that feel like they come full circle, and baby Deandre’s newborn session was one of them. Just a few weeks ago, I had the honor of capturing his mother’s maternity session—her hands resting gently on her belly, her eyes filled with quiet anticipation. And now, here he was, nestled in his parents’ arms, no longer a dream but a reality, a tiny miracle wrapped in warmth and love.

Newborn sessions are always special, but there is something even more meaningful about including parents in these moments. The way Deandre’s mother gazed at him, the way his father held him —it was a reminder that love expands in the most beautiful ways. In those early days, life moves in a blur of sleepless nights and endless cuddles, but photographs have a way of holding time still, of preserving the emotions that words cannot fully express.

Deandre, so small in their arms, already carried so much meaning. His name, often associated with bravery and strength, seemed to fit him perfectly. Though just beginning his journey, he was already the heartbeat of his family, the newest piece of a love story that would continue to unfold for years to come.

At the end of our session, we decided to have a little fun, capturing the most adorable baby mug shots of Deandre. His tiny expressions, ranging from sleepy curiosity to an almost serious little pout, had us all smiling. These were the moments of personality shining through—the glimpses of the boy he will become, the little spark that makes him uniquely him.

One day, when Deandre is no longer this tiny, when his parents can no longer cradle him in their arms quite as easily, they will look back at these images. They will remember the weight of him against their chest, the softness of his skin, the quiet wonder in his newborn eyes. And they will know, as they do now, that he was always deeply loved.

Deandre, may you grow strong and kind, always knowing that from your very first days, you were the center of a love that will never fade.
