I feel like I photograph each and every session so much differently as a mom, than I ever did as “just Emily”. I see the start of a brand new future ahead in a beautiful young girl, I see the smiles and love beaming from two proud parents and a partner who has been there every step of the way. But as a Mama, I also feel this mama’s heart skipping a beat or two, I can hear her voice quiver a little while she tucks her baby girls hair behind her ear once more. Lucky she can still do that, as parent it’s all that you want to be able to ever do, just be there for every single moment and cheer your baby on like it’s the very first time they ever took a step toward you with those beautiful innocent little eyes so many yesterdays ago.
I feel that way every day with my babies, already. And when I imagine them in these big milestones one day (in I wish the far more distant future), and how much greater and different our love will be even then, it just makes my heart explode.
All of the ugly tears over here. 🥹
