Emily's Intimate Fourth Trimester Photography Session in Minneapolis, Minnesota
One of the things that we absolutely love about our Real Postpartum photography sessions is the opportunity to capture the unique postpartum “realness” each family experiences. For some folks, that means lounging around half-dressed, nursing 24/7. For others, it’s sleepily changing diapers, prepping bottles, pumping, and living in sweatpants. There’s no right way to show up during this time, you just do, whatever that looks like for you.
The weeks after birth are a glorious haze as you settle into a new normal. You’re still tender and healing, and at the same time, you might be feeling oh-so-thankful that your pregnancy and birth are finally over. And now, in the aftermath of all that wonderfully hard work, you’re meeting this new baby of yours - once a part of you, now apart from you. With time, you’ll get to know this little human and all of their intricacies - in their different cries, in the wrinkle of their fingers, in the various responses to the way you sway or sing. Early postpartum is a time of so many small details and big picture moments that seem to pass in the blink of an eye.
When we come to you for our Real Postpartum sessions, we’ll make sure you feel comfortable letting the realities of your new parenting experience shine. We love this moment in time we were able to capture from our co-founder Emily’s postpartum time with her son, Hugo. Not only do these photos encapsulate all of the amazing newborn rolls and wrinkles, but we get to see the unfolding of Emily as a parent to her second child, a completely different experience than her first.
