I am simply amazed with how our bodies are created to hold, grow and nurture another human being. I know we don’t always feel beautiful with all the stretching ligaments, sciatic pain and leg cramps… But seriously mama, this time is precious and you are beautiful so lets capture this sweet moment! I feel so incredibly privileged to document your baby’s Birth Story. It’s hard and totally not necessary to see what is happening around you while your body is doing the work it needs to. But there is a story that is going on around you. The expression on your moms face when you’re breathing through each contraction. Your birth support team who is helping you relax and whispering soothing, encouraging words to you. The strength and relief that comes during push time. The moment you set your eyes on your baby for the first time! The look of awe and respect your husband holds on his face that says “Wow, my wife is amazing!”
When I think of a fresh new baby, and how best to capture this sweet yet short newborn stage, I want my photographs to be simple but also capture the joy and love that this new little person adds to the family. Gorgeous lashes, scrunchy faces, big yawns, fuzzy shoulders, wrinkly fingers and toes, sleepy smiles…
How about how your sweet little one puts their hands on their face, sleeps with a furrowed brow or always stretches out that one leg that use to get you right in the side? The moments that show your mamas voice calming your precious babe… The moments that show the awe and excitement a new little person brings to the bunch… the moments that show really “how tiny” your now 2 year old use to be. These are moments that make my storytelling mama heart happy! Website: www.alainanunez.com
