I shot this session way back in October last year and I’m sorry I withheld it from you for so long! This was such a sweet little shoot. When you have a baby the first two months are a blur of sleepless nights and endless nappy changes. It’s hard to remember that time. No surprise there, science actually has proven that our long term memory suffers when we are sleep deprived. But no parent ever forgets these first two days in the hospital. I think I speak for most mums when I say that you’re a physical and emotional wreck after giving birth. Giving birth is something that will push you beyond your limits. The first two days in the hospital are spent processing what physically feels like the result of a car accident and emotionally is a confusing mess of hormones, the knowledge that your life has just changed entirely and meeting this new human that came from within your body but with their own pesonality and seperate needs demanding to be met 24/7.The first days after giving birth are painful, messy, raw, emotional, magical and so incredibly special.
When I entered this family’s hospital room for their Fresh 48 session I got all these vibes plus a sense of all-consuming joy and gratitude for their bundle of absolute head-to-toe perfection:
