Get ready to fall in love all over again! This little cherub was birthed at home and welcomed by her Mama, Papa and proud Big Brother. Little Miss B was the perfect model - quiet and happy, even when wide-eyed and awake!  All new parents, first-timers and repeats, become anxious at the prospect of this up-and-coming responsibility - this unknown being that will be so needy, so helpless and so demanding of your every fibre...Every parent shares the same fears and thoughts... "How are we going to do this? How will we get through this?"... but then the time arrives and life simply just moves forward.

The calmness in this home on the day of the session affirmed my belief that welcoming a new life into your world only makes it better. Yes, the laundry is over flowing.  Yes, your inbox messages are piling up. Yes, you are exhausted beyond words. But life is better. Time slows. Moments linger. A cocoon wraps around your world. The seemingly important routines of a day fall away and in their place lies a tiny, new wonder.

The pure joy of holding a newborn can make my ovaries ache! But that is why I choose to photograph these lovely, new creatures, whose doe eyes, creamy skin and pouty mouths turn all who behold them to gushing, weeping babies themselves! Okay, maybe I'm the only one who cries when I get to hold a new, tiny life for the first time but I'm okay with that. I am done having babies of my own and so I cherish the time I get to spend hugging and snuggling these bundles of perfection. For a few hours, I also get to stop time and create some truly precious memories along the way. Life is just better with babies in it. And yes, I DO have the best job in the world!

Wishing endless love, joy and laughter to this new family of four.

Enjoy the view,

Tanis
