What to do with your placenta after your baby is born?
7/25/2024
When my client shared with me their plan to bury their placenta and plant a tree to commemorate their newborn’s arrival, I was immediately inspired. What a beautiful way to intertwine their growing family with the beauty of nature! This session wasn’t just about capturing posed baby pictures; it was about encapsulating their home, their story, and their deep connection to nature in timeless photographs.
In this newborn session, we ventured into their backyard where two saplings stood proudly – one for their newborn and another for their older child, who was ecstatic to be a part of this special moment. The older brother eagerly showed me his tree, beaming with pride. It was heartwarming to witness the bonds of family and the promise of new beginnings literally taking root.
Instead of traditional newborn photos, we captured moments that tell a story. The soft light filtering through the leaves, tiny hands cradling delicate leaves, and the tender gaze between siblings – these are the moments that will resonate with this family for years to come. Each photograph is a testament to their love, their values, and their unique journey.
As a photographer, my goal is always to create images that transcend the ordinary and become cherished memories. These photographs aren’t just decorations for their walls; they are a reflection of their home and a reminder of the story they are writing together. One day, when they move to a new place, these photographs will serve as a poignant reminder of their roots and the growth they’ve experienced.
Choosing to incorporate meaningful elements like the placenta burial and tree planting into a newborn session goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about capturing the essence of a family’s values and creating images that are deeply personal and evocative. These photos will hold a special place in their hearts, not just because of the beautiful moments captured, but because they represent who they are as a family.
