Some days behind the camera stay with you forever. 🤍
This was my very first birth session, and I don’t think I could ever have prepared myself for how deeply I would feel every moment of it.
What started as a natural birth became more than 12 hours of contractions, pain, waiting, emotions and uncertainty. I stood quietly behind my camera, capturing it all — the strength of a mother, the support of a father, the exhaustion, the hope, and all those little moments in between.
Eventually, the plans changed and a C-section was scheduled. Because sometimes birth doesn’t happen the way you imagined it would.
But then came that first cry… 🤍
And for a moment, it felt like the whole world stopped.
Standing there as their photographer, watching them meet their baby boy for the first time, was something I will never forget. And later, watching his big sister lay eyes on her little brother and instantly adore him made it even more special.
Somewhere during those long hours, I became so emotionally invested in this little family and their story.
What an absolute privilege it was to capture a day they will remember forever — and one that I know I will remember forever too.
My first birth session… and definitely not my last. 🤍
