I love the energy in the home when a new baby arrives. Everyone is fully present and in awe of their tiny addition. There’s this feeling of stillness and reflection. As though nostalgia and present time have come together. It’s pretty magical.

Meet Leland. I documented his sister Juniper’s birth a few years ago, but due to covid restriction I was unable to attend his. So after they got home from the hospital I headed over there when he was 8 days new for a Meet the Baby session! His tiny toes and his incredible eye contact made me melt.

I absolutely adore this family. I have been lucky enough to photograph them many times. Juniper played the role of big sister really well. Comforting Leland, reading to him, kissing him. The way he looks at her and sleeps soundly in her arms. So cute! And the sweet connection between Juniper and her pup was a beautiful thing to see. All in all, hanging out with them and documenting their afternoon as they began their new chapter was such an honour.

{birth story}

If it's not their first born, then it's not uncommon for parents to want their children to witness the birth, or be there soon afterwards to meet their new sibling, or in this case, siblings! But sometimes it's just not possible. Either it's a c-section or the birth happens in the middle of the night, making it tricky for children to be present. Many of these families add a Meet The Baby session. Which means I will meet them at their home as they arrive from the hospital or as the grandparents bring the kids back home, so I can capture those moments where siblings (and/or other family members) meet the new addition(s)! That's what I did with this family!
