Mama and baby portraits. They are all about the baby rolls, the baby's stolen glimpses at the camera and the mamas' irresistible urge to kiss them all over.

Did you know that the chemistry between parents and babies is so strong that one can recognize the other just by smell?

Pheromones are chemicals that we secrete and that act like hormones aka identifiers.
During pregnancy the baby and mom exchange pheromones and later through breastfeeding or any other physical contact.

Just by simply staying close to our babies, we create a lifelong bond that goes beyond the means of nonverbal communication and maternal ties.

One could say it is a connection much deeper than emotional heart strings, as it is created within the time frame of conception and developed to perfection through the months of postpartum.

Have you ever fallen in love with someone at first sight and at first smell? I bet you would recognize them blindfolded in a crowd of 100.

That is exactly what happens between mom and baby.

Such is the love between them: innate and unbreakable.

The day after attending a birth is often a strange day.

My body wakes up full of energy but within a few hours, it feels like I have been pressed into a book like a pretty flower - charming idea and dramatic consequences. 🤪

Only a taste of what the birthing person is going through on postpartum day 1. 👑💪🏼

But there is this overall vibe of happiness and calmness that wraps around me like a superpower.

The need to hug and kiss everyone.

To smile at strangers.

It's only love hangover.

Could it be contagious? If only...

This is what gratitude does.

Welcome little one. You are so loved. ❤️

In the words of Margaret Mead: I do not believe in using women in combat, because females are too fierce.

Yet it seems lately, we are called to raise to the division that separates us from those who used to be our loved ones. Our neighbors, ours friends, our community.

There are days, all I want is to undo things. There are days tears seem to swallow me whole.

On those days, I turn towards photography.

Creating something that is free for everyone. No judgement. No politics. No money. No pass required.

We do need them already fierce, even when they are little.

Water and children are like magnets.
Add a baby and a loving father in the mix and you have the perfect Friday afternoon of fun.

Family portrait and videography sessions are not only an occasion for making memories but also for connection with your children.
“Remember that time we played in the bathtub and the crazy photographer stood on the edge of the tub taking pictures of us? Imagine she had fallen in!!!”
