Skin to Skin contact. The beauty of parenting.

Throughout pregnancy, your body satisfies all of your baby’s needs. Your baby has been constantly fed, protected, and kept warm, soothed by the swooshing of your heart.

Transitioning from the womb to the outside world is a massive adjustment for a baby! Suddenly he/she will experience light, loud noises, cold, and hunger for the first time. Snuggling your baby skin to skin is the best way to ease the transition from the protected womb to the outside world. It not only provides comfort to both mom and baby, but it has health benefits as well.

Yes, I am a photographer. I am also a mother. I am 100% intrigued by the beauty of childbirth and the intensity of the postpartum moments, and by the moment, I mean the first few months. During our newborn sessions, I love the skin-to-skin contact and interaction between mum, dad and baby. I don't think there's anything I like to photograph more. In addition to amazing photos, there are many benefits to sharing this skin-to-skin contact.
