Pure Wonder Photography. Stillness. Austin Newborn Photographer.

I am just finishing the last pictures from this amazing session. I am reminded of the stillness that surrounds a newborn. Until you are in that moment, you can never fully understand the magnitude of what is happening. Stillness fills the air. As you adjust, you adapt, you learn, you become, you grow. You nurture a human being. A new life, solely dependent upon you. Those first hours, days and weeks are just that, stillness. Life seems to go on but yet it doesn’t move. You hardly have time to breathe but yet, you feel alive. Those moments of stillness will change you. They will inspire you and they will transform you into a person you never thought possible. Those moments of stillness are something that you can never get back. Those moments of stillness will become passing memories. You will try to relive, to re-experience those first moments, but you can’t. Months from now, you will close your eyes and you will try to remember. But, in those foggy days, it is hard to remember. But, hopefully, you will look back on these pictures and the memories will come flooding in. The sweet smell, the wrinkly skin, the little blonde hairs, the sweet feet, the triumphs and the tribulations. It will all come rushing back to you, and, in that moment, it will take your breathe away. Because, it is these precious moments of stillness that will rejuvinate a tired soul; it is these moments that will send you back to what it is all about. newborn itty bitty parts picturesnewborn in a basket picturebaby laying on a biblesweet baby picture in a cut hatbaby in a cocoon picturebaby on a biblebaby in parents hands picturephew…that was a long one!
