Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most meaningful milestones, and those first few days go by quickly. This session with 8-day-old Kieran was a beautiful reminder of how powerful simple, heartfelt newborn portraits can be. Especially when baby is years in the making and a long IVF journey.

I have had the honor of capturing this family since the arrival of their first son and know just how much has happened for baby Kieran to enter the world.  He is already so loved and so wanted.

Every newborn is different, which is why a thoughtful pace is so important. Allowing time for feeding, soothing, and settling helps create a comfortable environment and gives room for genuine moments to unfold. That’s when the most meaningful portraits happen. And just like his older brother, Kieran really wanted to keep an eye on me and be alert. And that is OKAY!  My job is to make it as safe and easy on both baby and parents as possible.

If you’re planning a newborn session in Winnipeg, booking early is always recommended. The best time to photograph your baby is typically within the first two weeks, while they are still very new and sleepy. Whether you’re hoping for classic portraits or creative, understated images, these early memories deserve to be documented with care.
