Just Yesterday… | Baby photography Melbourne

Just yesterday I gave birth to a baby. Today, that baby turned one.
Just yesterday I had a brand new tiny little newborn. Today, I have a little boy who is growing and learning day by day.
Just yesterday the world stopped turning for just a moment, just long enough to watch a new soul breathe life into his lungs. Today, the world stopped turning for a moment again.
Just yesterday I watched him swimming in clothes that were far too big for him, his little arms getting lost in the mountain of fabric he was yet to grow in to. Today, I folded away his size 00 clothes for the last time.
Just yesterday my heart witnessed the instant poetic bond between siblings. Today I heard “Charlie no!!” from his sibling far too many times.
Just yesterday I felt still in the fragility and innocence this amazing person taught me. Today, I watched him fall over and over trying to walk, fiercely persistent without a care in the world.

Yes friends, is was only just yesterday… don’t blink.

    Kristen, beautiful sentiments re your beautiful boy! And these kinds of thoughts are paramount in my mind this week also when we received such an amazing gift in the mail from you. To see pics you took of our Oscar when he was 10 days old (2.5 yrs ago) was so unexpected and so surreal. Love it that you were kind enough to forward on your ‘sample book’ of Oscar. So thoughtful and kind. Love your work! Karen, Simon, Maddie and Oscar xxx
