When a Baby is Born Too Early
About a month ago I received an email from one of our expecting mothers, her message exuded stress because her new baby was born too early and now was in the NICU. Knowing that she needed comfort and support I turned to my business Facebook account and asked what advice could mothers give to another mother when their baby is born too early and now in the care of the local NICU.
The responses were heartfelt, well written and beautiful. I did not want those sweet words of encouragement to get lost among the daily posts of social media and decided to share their messages here. The next time a mother messages, I can send her here, to read the words of other mother’s who have stood in her very shoes. In the hope’s she receives the comfort she needs during that time.
Messages from Mother’s Who Have Been In Your Shoes
Thank you to Everyone who Shared their Message
A special thank you to these wonderful mothers who took the time to give hope, advice, and reassurance. I appreciate you all reaching out!

A third little sister for this sweet family! This family is only of my favourites as I have had the chance to get to know them over the past few years!
Victoria arrived with the wildest hair and I was insanely in love with her for that reason (my babies were so bald their little heads shined!). We had fun ‘styling’ her hair and made sure that the headbands didn’t squash and of its natural volume.
Her big sister was a rare baby that arrived sleeping and never woke to see what was happening but Miss Victoria was like the majority of the babies that come to the studio. She looked around, got the hiccups, stared us a down a bit more but finally slipped into a mid-morning nap and we had some fun photographing her!
Her big sister was an expert at holding babies and her other sister Eloise, who we were not sure if she would cooperate for her pictures was a rockstar! She smiled and cheesed at the camera perfectly!

The biggest compliment you can give a photographer is when you refer to other people OR return to them! This was the case with sweet little Evelyn! It has only been maybe two years since we last saw her big brother and now here she is in our studio!
Her mama didn’t want pictures last time but we convinced her this time and there was a little magic in the air! Mothers feel so tired and worn down but truthfully they are glowing and beautiful after their babies arrive.
I love being able to show them how beautiful they really are to everyone else. The sweetest truth is someday our babies won’t fit in our hands, they will be too chubby and too busy.

When you sit back and think about how truly amazing a baby can be to your relationships, it is mind-blowing! Two people come together and now they are both inextricable connected for the rest of their lives. Families are born, bonds formed and now the future is filled with traditions, seeing the world through your baby’s eyes, creating a life for this child that you feel is best.
This sweet little gentlemen arrived at the studio and was so curious to everything that was around him! His sweet inquisitive face was darling. We had so much fun working with him and creating some amazing pictures when he was only days old!
Normally we try not to photograph when eyes are open (newborns have immature eyes and cannot always hold a gaze or keep both eyes looking in the same direction) but this little guy proved us wrong by staring directly at the camera!!

I really cannot wait till he is older and his Mom yells for the first time, “Alvvvvvin!”….or his first Halloween costume with that red hat and red sweater…all teasing aside this is my nephew and we still giggle over his name and it was the name his sweet Momma has been dreaming of for many years, but first came his two sisters.
Nieces and nephews are at the mercy of their aunty…who gets to kiss them (cause it would be a bit weird to kiss strangers babies) and cuddle them a bit longer. Parents are at the mercy because I will do the setups any way I want. We play around and try new things and the end results are always one or two images I am completely in love with for artistic reasons but mostly because they are my people.
Alvin had some nice greenery in his session and please don’t ask for that ivy…I killed it. Apparently my new-found hobby of house plants became a hobby of murdering house plants so we will stick with plastic from now on (or bring your own and I promise my black thumb won’t touch it).

love those phone calls to tell me that a newborn has become a big brother! Owen was only a few days old the first time I met him! He had the most amazing LIPS and that made me wonder if his little brother would too! Ellis did not disappoint! He also had those pouty lips that really make people look twice!
I love working with this family and Ellis decided to keep up with the other tiny people that have been in the studio, by trying so hard to stay wide awake and check out what was happening around him….but he eventually got baby whispered and we began. Big brother wasn’t a BIT shy but needed a little coaxing and patience to get his picture taken. When he finally agreed it was pure magic! I love those siblings shots!!!
