Those First 14 Days: The Truth About Newborn Sessions (and Why They Matter)
Newborn Photography | Brisbane
They say the days are long but the years are short—but honestly, those first two weeks? They’re a fever dream.
Milk-stained shirts. Midnight feeds. Wondering how someone so small can make you feel so undone—and so whole.
Newborn sessions aren’t about picture-perfect swaddles or staged props. They’re about catching the sighs, the skin-to-skin, the way your baby curls into you like you’re still home.
You don’t need your baby to be settled for two hours straight. You just need to show up—exactly as you are.
We’ll keep things slow, warm, gentle. You feed when they need. I’ll quietly move around you, capturing the unspoken rhythms you’re learning together.
It’s the way they grip your finger like it’s a lifeline. The way your partner stares at them like time’s frozen. The moment your tired eyes meet the camera and say, “we made it.”
You don’t need to curate anything. The chaos is part of it. So is the wonder.
We’ll shoot in the studio like its your home. The newborn smell in the air and the warmth of their tiny body against yours. These are the textures of early parenthood.
And through it all, there’s something sacred about seeing yourself in these first days. Tired, yes—but alive with something deeper. Tender. Fierce. Soft.
Because these are the moments that blur fastest. The way they stretch their fingers when they yawn. The fluff on their shoulders. The connection in your eyes, even through the haze.
It’s not about looking polished. It’s about being present.
