When Lucy’s mum first reached out about a newborn photoshoot, she was filled with doubt. Lucy had already faced so much in her tiny life — nerve damage brought on during the doctors at birth, she was constantly attached to a machine that drip feeds her. The idea of a gentle, peaceful newborn session felt almost impossible.
But sometimes, the most delicate moments hold the most powerful stories. And with a little patience, understanding, and gentle encouragement, we found a way to create magic.
Meeting Lucy: A Brave Little Fighter
We worked slowly — no rushing, just tender movements and lots of breaks. The machine beeped softly in the background, a reminder of the obstacles Lucy had already overcome, I sent her mum out to just have some quiet time and I rocked Lucy to sleep.
Photos that show the love surrounding her, the bravery in her eyes, and the joy of new beginnings, even when life hasn’t been easy.
Why These Photos Matter
These images are more than just pictures. They’re a celebration of Lucy’s journey, a memory Mum & dad can cherish forever — proof that despite the hardships, there is beauty, love, and light.
If you’re a parent facing challenges like Lucy’s, know that capturing your baby’s precious moments is possible. Sometimes it just takes a little extra time, care, and a photographer who believes in your story.
