Newborn photography: because your baby never gets any smaller

I remember when my first daughter - now a kindergartener, tall and rangy as a colt - was born, I felt the weight of human clichés that suddenly became absolute deepest human truth. How you are not possibly “ready” for a new baby, no matter the car seat and tiny clothes - you are not ready for this new and oh-so-needy lumpish thing to utterly dismantle your world. No way are you ready for how time goes elastic and loses meaning and how true it is that they grow so fast.

I have my own pandemic baby - she was thawed just before the world imploded, so I didn’t know that she would be one. I’ve read that there is a decrease in the birth rate, especially right now. But I’ve found the opposite with this Gen C crowd:

Newborn photos hold time still and keep your babies small, as small as they’ll ever be.

If you’re having a new baby soon, I’d love to capture these tiny days.
