First birthday celebrations for Faye!

One year ago today, I had the amazing honour to witness a most serene and peaceful birth; an experience that will stay with me always.

Happy 1st Birthday to Faye!

There was a beautiful calmness in the room that day, and so much love. I reflect back on those special moments, still in awe and admiration of how incredible this mama was as she embraced her journey to motherhood. It was such a privilege to silently observe family bonds begin to envelop them as I quietly documented their first moments as a family. Truly special.

Wishing Panos, Meg and Faye, a magical first birthday celebration, sending much love to you all.

With love,
~Natalie

Memories. They’re timeless.

Time is not something we can buy. Time is a gift. The passing of time is most noticeable in nature's cycles and seasons and children growing up. There is always enough time. Spend it wisely. Photograph the everyday as well as the important moments. One day you'll look...
