The Newborn Story of Olive

Part 3

Durham England Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Finally getting a second to share the sweet Newborn Session of Baby Olive! If you haven’t yet, you should definitely check out Part One and Part Two of this little girl’s entrance into the world, including the Birth story told from their own words as a couple! I am so thankful I was able to capture this sweet season for this new family. Their joy was electric and their connection only grew in strength from their Maternity Session to meeting them in their home to capture that tender Newborn time.

In home sessions are unlike really anything else and especially in the tender weeks after becoming new parents. The air is joyful but also tense as everyone is going through transformation and sleeplessness. But for this precious family, all I could feel was the ever-intensifying bonding that was in process. Olive was such a sweet newborn and would calm so easily in her parent’s arms. And Sasha and Adam were just beginning the beautiful dance of intentional parenthood.

With every newborn session, I always make sure to create something unique to the family’s story. I capture the family together, the connections being formed between both parents and their little one, and the home that shelters all that fresh love. But even when I have a list in my head of pairings to photograph and moments not to miss, each session always tells it’s own story.

You learn about the family from the art they place on their walls to the ways they hold their infant close.

I learned so much of the love and joy this family gives to and truly brings out in each other. Both Sasha and Adam have a joy for life that has only grown x100 now that Olive has come into their lives. I could just feel the completeness and the coming together of this family when photographing this newborn session. It’s been a couple of years now and I’ve got to capture them at least once a year since this day and that connection and completeness has only become more and more clear.

Watching a family grow is one of the greatest gifts as a photographer!
