Duncan
You came flying into this world amidst so much uncertainty and brought so much peace along with you.
When I joined you at the farm for your newborn session, it was so wonderful to see how your parents have settled into their new roles as Mom and Dad – even in the moments when I’m sure they felt like they didn’t know what they were doing. I got to see them work as a team. I got to see them each soak in all of your little details. I got to see each of them marvel at the role the other has taken on. I got to see them laugh with one another, even when they felt uncertain.
Having parents who admire and respect each other is something special, Duncan. I hope that you’re able to recognise that as you grow up and that it gives you something to reflect on one day. You’re a lucky little boy and, given the love that is going to surround you throughout your years on this earth, I don’t doubt that you’ll come to realise that fact, as well.
I hope that one day you’ll hear about how your dad would confidently take you when you fussed and that the two of you have a favourite chair to sit in together. I hope you learn about the way your mom looks at you with the softest eyes and fullest heart.
You were born into a family that was ready for all of the curve balls you’re bound to throw at them, little man. You are so truly loved.
I’m Ang. I’m a documentary family photographer offering coverage like this North Stormont newborn session, as well as family-positive sessions throughout SD&G. Laughter is important in my life and in my work and I want to show you the beauty, the humour and the little moments of connection in your everyday.
