Baby Norah – San Francisco Family Photography

I had a lovely morning hanging out with Meghan, Andrew and their sweet daughter Norah at their beautiful home in San Francisco for their circle of relatives pictures session. I enjoy photographing actual and authentic moments in an environment that holds which means to the human beings I’m photographing. Meghan desired to seize this early section of Norah and I could not be greater humbled that she selected me to record it.

So a whole lot love among those 3!


“Entering parenthood is like being thrust into an entire new, proper-aspect up global. It is high-quality but all at once everything isn't always what it once become. It is tough to capture in words – particularly running on ‘new determine no sleep’ mode and eating little to no caffeine in attempt to keep up my milk deliver!” -Meghan


“In a few approaches, I consider I actually have spent my complete existence preparing to be my daughter’s mom –  especially the remaining 9 months or so. That stated, the minute Norah Jo entered the sector, it took place – I became ‘Momma Meg’ and a good way to for all time exchange my reason. From July 19th, 2018 forward, I will devote every day to my daughter’s fitness and happiness.” -Meghan 



“Getting pregnant became a -yr adventure full of an operation, nearly a yr of regular ultra sounds, hormone shots, IUIs, and many months of hoping for the opportunity for the love of my existence, Andrew, and I to end up dad and mom. I vividly recall taking a handful of domestic being pregnant checks the tenth day after finishing our second IUI, just as we have been advised to do.” -Meghan

“A minute is so brief until you are waiting for a being pregnant test! The traces couldn’t seem speedy enough. Even after three tremendous checks, because I knew there was some hazard that the hormones from the IUI had been in my system giving us a false high-quality, I wasn’t a hundred% convinced it was real. Only when I noticed the sparkle of a heartbeat at the screen at five weeks did it honestly sink in…the toddler we’d been hoping for turned into on her manner!” -Meghan




“My husband and I opted to do all the screening tests so were tears-rolling-down-the-cheeks glad to find out we had a healthy infant on the way. After a long drawn out dinner discussing (and debating) what it would be like to elevate a woman or boy in today’s international, we quietly sat collectively around our kitchen island to include the news- whatever became discovered to us. We knew having a boy or girl would impact the rest of our lives.” -Meghan

“We clicked ‘display gender’ on our computer after thankfully and diligently reviewing all the other screening results. My husband and I both had our eyes closed and counted backwards so we'd see the information at the equal time. I do not forget Andrew shrieking and leaping literally a foot inside the air after studying we have been going to have a infant GIRL and I couldn’t assist however think there has by no means been a higher time to deliver another robust woman into this world!” -Meghan





“Norah’s call is one Andrew and I had been drawn to from the start; Norah is derived from the Latin phrase Honor and as a Meghan with an ‘h’ we favored Norah with an ‘h’ too.” -Meghan

“Jo is a name for woman heroines. My late paternal grandmother’s call become Josephine. I called her Grammy Jo. She became a hardworking, wise woman who put family first, always. Also, the literary protagonist, Jo, in Little Women represents another robust, independent, creative lady our Norah Jo may be stimulated by using.” -Meghan



“We desired ‘Norah’s Nursery’ to be simple albeit playful. We chose bright whites, herbal birch wooden portions that could develop with Norah into toddlerhood and modern-day artwork accents that inspire each exploration and adventure. We’ve additionally had so much fun filling the nursery with our family and buddies’ favored children’s books, academic timber toys, and relics from our formative years and relationship.” -Meghan

“I have a pass stitched poem that hung in my childhood nursery that reads: ‘Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ‘til the next day. For toddlers develop up we’ve found out to our sorrow. So settle down cobwebs, dirt nod off. I’m rocking my infant and babies don’t maintain.'”-Meghan


“Also, while Andrew and I first commenced relationship I despatched him the ‘You are my sunshine my best sunshine, you make me glad when skies are gray’ print. As silly as it may appear, that tune captured how I felt approximately Andrew. His optimistic outlook makes my coronary heart sing, regardless of what we’re going through.  Now, we sing that lullaby to our daughter every time we rock her to sleep.” -Meghan


“Certainly, motherhood has given me a far deeper appreciation for the African proverb – it takes a village. I knew the phrase however didn’t certainly understand what that intended until dwelling it. My tribe has picked me up and supported us via postpartum healing and unconditional love so needed at some stage in this pivotal first chapter of parenthood.” -Meghan

“I am relatively fortunate to have top notch function version moms to analyze from and usually be inspired by means of. My mother Mari. My Mimi, Betty. My Grammy Jo. My mother in regulation, Beth.

Each day, every week, every month (and I can best believe every year) is filled with exchange that has awoke part of me that became destined to grow to be a Mom.” -Meghan

“Specifically, within the final four months (my daughter simply became 4 months vintage) I even have slept less, concerned greater, and skilled extra perpetual “highs” than ever earlier than.  A few of my favored matters as of late encompass mommy and me morning singalongs to Raffi “shake my sillies out,” looking Norah find out her toes, day by day park walks, and complete-bellied child laughs induced by means of humorous Mom faces that I desire she matters are this cool years from now.” -Meghan
