Fresh 48 Session | Nashville Tennessee Newborn Photographer

Hospital Fresh 48 | Nashville Tennessee Photographer

I had an emergency c-section and those drugs knocked me out for 13 hours. I remember waking up, looking at the clock, counting how much time it had been, and without mercy, I had already told myself I was a bad mom. Sheesh!

I don’t know why it’s so easy to say such mean things to yourself. If my friend had told me she was a bad mom for being knocked out for that long, I would’ve looked at her like she was demented, right?! Why am I even talking about all of this?

Because, chances are if you’re reading this, you are an expecting mom, maybe for the first time. It will be an onslaught of emotions and tasks, all in your best sleep deprived, pained body. If you EVEN care if you’re a bad mom, you really aren’t then, are you!? Remember your heart will explode for your new child, swell with love and pride for your partner also parenting next to you. Since your heart is opening in new ways, please, give yourself some grace too!

I love the newborn days, I am still amazed that it ALL starts so immediately after birth! I’m excited to be a Fresh 48 photographer serving the Nashville Tennessee area!
