Documenting your life odyssey with poetry - part II
When it’s your first baby it’s like I get to meet 2 different versions of you. You are now a parent. Impregnated by their love. Basking in that endless love. Changed forever.
When I met Bryony & Tom for the second time it was with Penelope nestled in their arms.
We photographed memories they will cherish forever.
Part II: the Newborn session
On a hot spring day we ventured to the magnificent Botanical Gardens in Bristol.
As soon as I lied my eyes on Penelope I was utterly smittened. She’s the cutest, most beautiful baby.
We strolled & captured some photos. Bryony & Tom shared their new life as parents with me. How Penelope was now part of it.
It’s such a pleasure to follow your journey during pregnancy and meet again with your baby. Listen to how you’re feeling in both mind and body.
As we kept moving in the gardens we followed every need Penelope had. Stopped for breastfeeding and took the time. It’s all about these little breaks when you relax and forget that I’m even here, forget about the camera. It’s just you and your loved ones.
I always make sure to capture photos of each parent with their baby…
And some images of just you together.
To remember that you are lovers before parents always.
Thank you for your trust B & T. It’s been truly an honour to document these special moments in your lives.
Love,
