Our Story
Hello Mamas & Papas!
I'm Whitney and here is my story.
10 years ago, I became a Mom for the first time.
Morning sickness, exhaustion, and an ever-changing body made those 9 months feel like an eternity. Now a decade later, they feel like a distant time that I wish I could return to.
My husband Adam and I were living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana while I finished a PhD program. We were thrilled to start a family, but anxious about....well.....parenting.
My pregnancy progressed well, enjoying the kicks, bumps, nudges and rib stabs that are par for the course. Then, pre-eclampsia roared in at 40 weeks. Although it took us by surprise and scared us, we left the hospital nearly a week later with a healthy 9 lb. 2 oz baby boy -- and that new love that we had never known existed.
Some days, I yearn to go back to those quiet moments of rocking, cuddling, and nursing our first baby. I often miss the way his fuzzy little head felt when I rubbed my nose against it. I miss the sound of his little cry. I even miss 2 AM feedings.
When that happens, I pull out a box of photos that sits on our living room shelf and shuffle through them one by one.
You see, I wasn't a photographer then but one of our best friends was. She was already a Mom and knew how important documenting my pregnancy and new baby would be. She made sure that our memories were preserved.
I am SO thankful that I have those photos that help me to rediscover days gone by.
Without fail, the nostalgic feeling of immediate connection and "mama bear" instinct rushes back and I weep with gratitude to have those memories to relive.
I want nothing more than for you to be able to have those memories to touch and hold, too.
THAT is why I created Legacy Newborn Photography.
I want your family to live and relive these can't-get-back moments too.
