Such a sweet newborn session! I’ve been in many labor and delivery rooms since having my babies - but I’m not usually on the postpartum/ recovery side of things. Oh the feels. I’m so excited to be capturing these sessions! This baby was seriously THE most adorablly expressive newborn you ever did see! Total mommas boy- I adored capturing these two in their sacred & quiet space before life with two big brothers and the every day hustle moves in <3
This lady's newborn session couldn't have gone better! This family nailed it. Big brother as batman? You betcha! Camera happy fur baby? YUP. I am willing to bet that in 20 years batmans parents will remember and chuckle at his determination to wear his costume far more than they would have remembered picking out matching outfits. This family is picture perfect and it was such an honor to document them in all their glory! Oh and the momma of this tribe is Jen of Mumda. Super star doula/ local business owner. If you're looking for support during your pregnancy / birth she's an incredible resource!
But before I get to the meat and potatoes of the session I have to stop and chuckle at what a perfectly posed little newborn this sweet girl was when I walked in. If you want a lifestyle session - plan on a posed newborn session - and turns out - if you want a posed newborn session - plan on a lifestyle session LOL!
I met with local midwife, Lorraine Searle, several months ago at Kookaburra to discuss her vision for Well Woman 360. It's no secret that I'm a little rough around the edges, so 'business meetings' usually make me itch ;) . However it took no time to get comfortable, Lorrainewas such a sweet and caring spirit out the gate. I fell in love with her vision and desire to support moms in our community and I am SO excited that this space is becoming a reality for local moms.
What is Well Woman 360?
In short, it's a space for mothers to come, connect and get support from their peers and professionals alike. They will have childbirth classes, nutrition classes, massage, yoga, exercise classes (hello pelvic floor!) - you name it! They also have an awesome Montessori inspired play space for the toddlers. There are different packages offering different services - including a home visit from Lorainne post-partum to check on mom + baby. As someone who has had both home and hospital births seeing the best of these two worlds merge makes me giddy.
The website went live this week so you can find more information there (linked at the bottom). And they are opening their doors on San Marco soon! This is such an awesome development for moms in our community - almost makes me want another baby (hah! kidding!).
