These sounds…this movement…and the tender bond between this mama and her baby crushed my heart in all the best ways. What a gift for me to witness their love this week and what I would GIVE to have been making films when my girls were babies.

A newborn’s newness is so very fleeting. It’s why all my newborn (and family) photo sessions now include a mini-film! Because I’m convinced films tell the fuller story. Because your memories deserve to have movement and sound. Because today isn’t forever…but moments like these can be.
