Discovering Motherhood; The early days
Beginnings can be delicate or explosive. They can start almost invisibly or arrive with a big bang. Beginnings hold the promise of new lessons to be learned, new territory to be explored, and old lessons to be recalled, practiced, and appreciated. Beginnings hold ambiguity, promise, fear, and hope. There is no telling how your jounrey will unfold and reveal itself. We just don’t know until we’re up to our elbows in the trenches of every day moments that we only begin to understand.
The early days are the scariest. But then you find your feet again and begin to see thru the fog, you truly are strong. Stronger then you thought. You found a strength and grace so deeply buried in your heart, could it truly be a part of you? It is. It’s in each one of us. Tapping into it, is where we find our life’s greatest lessons.
Amber and Alex started the year only just beginning to think of expanding their family. By years end they were celebrating with a little bundle nestled deep within their hearts. They’ve made the journey to parenthood and come out the other side, stronger, wiser, and more filled with hope. It’s not always easy, pretty, or filled with confidence. Most of the time it’s the opposite, but to embrace it all, is to embrace life’s lessons and challenges with open hearts.
So honored to walk this part of the journey with you both.
What makes a Discovering Motherhood Session different? Beginning a journey and becoming parents is filled with questions, fears, and anticipation. These sessions tackle these thoughts and anxieties head on. Mom to Mom. We’re documenting a journey of the heart. I want you walking away with not only beautiful photos to remember this time, but also the confidence to mother from the heart. Confidence to step into your new role and rock it!
