SLEEP IS SO OVERRATED
Documenting those first, hazy, sleep deprived days as you adjust and fall in to a new pace of lifeNEWBORN DAY-IN-THE-LIFE
A VISUAL DIARY OF YOUR FIRST DAYS
When we have a session together I tell your story through my eyes and this is a story like no other. Emotionally and practically your life has been turned upside down, while you are adjusting to the new norm and high on an intoxicating mix of tiredness and wonder, I will record all the details, so that you can relive every fleeting moment after the haze of becoming new parents has passed. Your first home as a family, curling up in bed together, skin to skin, nestling, feeding, sneezes and yawns, nappies and baths … this is the start of your beautiful, new everyday.
I’m not shooting for single images, I’m shooting for your whole story. I firmly believe that the extended time that we spend together is a unique and essential part of my service, which allows me to capture a series of images that work as a collective to tell the story of your life. My dream is that clients come back year after year and eventually house a collection of books that trace their family history through the years.
