She Waited Three Years to Meet Her
Some stories don’t begin with joy.
They begin with waiting.
This mama waited three years to meet her baby.
Three years shaped by endometriosis.
By pregnancy loss.
By the quiet resilience that forms when hope has to be rebuilt more than once.
When her baby finally arrived, it was the arrival of everything she had been holding her breath for.
Their little rainbow 🌈
For women who have walked through infertility or loss, pregnancy is rarely carefree.
There is gratitude, yes.
But also fear.
Caution.
A deep awareness of what can be taken away.
Milestones are celebrated softly. Joy exists, but it often shares space with anxiety.
This newborn photoshoot took place in their home and was about holding space for a mother who had earned every breath of this moment.
The way she held her baby told the story before any words could.
These are the images that matter most over time.
The ones that remind you not just what you had, but what it took to get there.
Photographing Pregnancies and Newborn Babies After Loss or Infertility
I photograph many women whose path to motherhood has been complicated.
Women carrying IVF pregnancies.
Women pregnant after loss.
Women who don’t take any of this for granted.
Because I’ve walked this road too, I understand the sensitivity required.
The need for understanding.
The importance of trust.
If this story feels familiar, you’re not alone. And if you’re currently pregnant, or holding your long-awaited baby, and wondering whether this season is worth documenting — it is. And if you'd like me to document it for you, you can get in touch.
