There is nothing happier than holding your baby in your arms, warm hugs. The long expectations of the whole pregnancy journey, the joy shown on the mother’s face when seeing her baby like an angel
This family enjoys a peaceful, happy moment together. There’s something so intimate about a forehead kiss, particularly while their baby is comfortably latched on.
This photograph captures a sweet family moment as they bond together and settle into their new normal. I do wonder if that flannel shirt inspired the photograph’s name.
A victorious end for this mother’s pregnancy journey. In a world where you are made to doubt yourself and your body, this is such an affirming moment.
Mom looks like she is positively roaring this baby into being. What a beautiful moment for this fierce mama and a proud partner.
The intimate moment when the baby is released from the amniotic sac to meet his mother. Tough, transparent amniotic sacs protect babies in the womb, and this little one is no exception.
You can clearly see the outline of the bag of water entwined in mom’s fingers as she cuddles babe for the first time with a juicy umbilical cord. Few mothers get a close-up of their baby’s quarters for the last nine months- what a special photo to treasure.
