Pure Newborn Sweetness - April Milam Photography - Spring Hill, TN

Words cannot express the joy and gratefulness that I experience every time I am honored to photograph a newborn. They are so perfect and pure. They're parents are so elated and relieved. Siblings are in awe and never prouder. To experience one of those first hours of the first days or weeks is truly a gift.

I recently had a newborn boy visit my studio at 12 days old. Both his mom, dad, and 3 year old big sister came to the session. As they arrived, the aroma of love and tenderness filled my little studio. Dad giggled with the toddler as mom fed baby. Such normal moments and at the same time extraordinary too. We started photos of baby individually and he fought sleep so we had fun with some wrapped poses of baby with wide, handsome eyes. Such a treat to get those wide eyes! Then we went through props and on family photos. We'd take a few photos with one parent, then a few with another. Then we'd have big sister jump in a photo here and there. And boy was she so proud to be next to her baby brother; to hold him, to kiss him, to help mom and dad take care of him. She truly looked at him with adoring eyes.

As we wrapped up our session, I considered this wonderful family. How they provided such warmth, reassurance, and love to each of their family members. No one was left out. They were bonded in love and gave such wonderful affirmation. I'm so thankful for families like this in our world and the chance to get to know them. In all troubles of our world, I am given hope because of those people who shine so bright with love for others. It encourages me to just like them. Love my family more. Be kind to everyone. And radiate joy and thankfulness. Because there's no reason not to.
