FOURTH TRIMESTER BONDING SESSIONS
For mamas who would like a little time to adjust to mamahood before doing photos with your newborn, I offer Fourth Trimester Sessions in my studio. "The Fourth Trimester" is another name for the first few months after birth. Because those first few months still feel so absolutely delicate and long and challenging. It can feel like, after birth, you've been lobbed into space, and as your baby grows, learns to eat, poop, sleep more regularly, that you are slowing coming back into orbit. And it still feels like your baby is adjusting to all things Earth.
These early-days bonding sessions are for mamas who want to capture that incredible new feeling of holding your sweet babe. That brilliant shift in your personhood. Typical newborn photographs are centered on the baby, and they're often posed or white-washed. These sessions are deep and raw and real. It's just the mother and babe, skin to skin, bonding, spending quiet time together.

"[Alyssa's] photos are just stunning. I felt even closer to my daughter after doing the photo shoot." - Andrea
"The way Alyssa presents the world through the lens of her heart and her camera brings me to my knees! She reminds us that, despite our shortcomings, humanity is absolutely beautiful." - Jean
