There’s something truly magical about watching a family grow—and having the honor of documenting that journey. I recently had the joy of photographing a family whose maternity and newborn sessions I captured not too long ago. Seeing their little one transform from a tiny, sleepy newborn into an energetic, curious toddler was such a heartwarming experience.

As I watched this sweet little one laugh and play with her parents and aunty (session assistant extraordinaire) during our session, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing and preserving these precious moments for this family, and it’s a reminder of why I love what I do. To be trusted with such a personal part of their lives, to see them change and grow, it’s nothing short of a gift.

This family’s session was full of joy, love, and laughter—exactly the kind of moments I cherish capturing. From the playful snuggles to the little moments of quiet connection, every photo tells a story of how far they’ve come together. What makes it even more special is knowing that this session, just like their newborn one, will be something they’ll treasure for years to come.

For me, it’s not just about taking pictures. It’s about creating memories—capturing love in all its forms, in the everyday moments that make a family unique and beautiful. I feel so lucky to be part of that journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for families like this who allow me to be the one to document their story.

For today’s blog, I’d love to take a moment to look back to the very beginning. It feels like the perfect "before and after" story...
