These moments of calm in the first few weeks of life with a newborn can feel few and far between when you’re in survival mode. You’re inundated with visitors, all excited to meet this new little person you created. The weeks are often filled with appointments, doctors, midwives, clinics, check-ups, family and friends who all want a little piece of you. It can be overwhelming, exciting, magical and stressful, all rolled into one.
Sometimes you put everyone else before yourself. And then suddenly two weeks have passed. Then three, then four, and that newborn window that you’ve spent 9 months patiently waiting for has gone in the blink of an eye.
Take the photos. Make time for you. Document this tiny little window of the newborn bubble you are in. Because it truly does not last long at all, and before you know it there are routines, and bedtime schedules, baby sensory classes and weaning journeys.
Yes, they are still such an exciting part of the motherhood journey, just different ✨
I am now booking newborn sessions well into 2027, so if it’s been on your to-do list for a while, don’t leave it too long. Blink and you’ll miss it.
