Celebrating New Beginnings with Baby Jenson - Suffolk Newborn Photography
Newborn shoots are truly magical, and I adore capturing these precious moments. This particular session held an extra special place in my heart as it was for one of my dearest friends, Denny. When I learned that Denny was going to be a Mummy, I was absolutely thrilled. We had planned a beautiful maternity shoot, and we also discussed the upcoming newborn session.
At 24+2 weeks, Denny went into premature labor, catching us all by surprise. As someone who also works for the NHS in Maternity, I was at work when it happened. I rushed to be by Denny's side, giving her the tightest of hugs before she was whisked off in an ambulance to another unit. Two days later, little Baby Jenson Maverick made his grand entrance into the world, weighing a precious 780g.
As the days and months passed, Baby Jenson continued to astonish everyone. When he reached 100 days old, he was finally ready to go home. Capturing that moment through my lens was incredibly emotional and heartwarming.
After a few weeks of settling into their home, I finally had the pleasure of photographing the special newborn shoot we had planned so many months ago. Denny and Jon have a truly beautiful home, exuding warmth and love from every corner. Their three little dogs, who are definitely part of the family, added an extra layer of joy to the atmosphere. It was heartening to see Jenson in such a loving and non-medical environment.
During the shoot, we took our time, exploring different areas of the house as Denny had shared some inspiration photos with me beforehand. Contrary to popular belief, it's not necessary to have every inch of the house spotless for the shoot – a little clutter here and there adds character, just like in my own home!
As Jenson's feeding time approached, we took a break to reflect on the incredible journey that had led us to this point.
Little baby Jenson was an absolute star throughout the shoot, and the photos captured the immense love showered upon him by his Mummy and Daddy. He's one brave little boy, and I have the utmost admiration for his incredible parents.
