Sanam and I had been talking back and forth on Instagram for many, many months prior to the birth of her precious second son. She found me when the lovely ladies at Baby and Child Magazine published an article on my work in birth photography and was interested in hiring a Dubai Birth Photographer. It’s always so lovely connecting with people online, specially when you finally get to meet them, and realize that they are your tribe and some of your biggest supporters!

Unfortunately because of scheduling complications, we couldn’t schedule a birth shoot, however, we were able to shoot the moments immediately after Sanam gave birth to her son, and this also coincided with her eldest meeting his new brother for the very first time. The session was quite emotional for everyone (even me! Pregnant at the time with loads of hormones running through my veins, so you can imagine!)

What I love about Dubai is the fact that it’s a huge cultural melting pot. People come here as individuals, open to a world of new experiences, and sometimes they get lucky and meet the loves of your lives :) Being a Dubai Newborn Photographer gives me a small peak into many people’s lives, which is something I find SO interesting and curious. I love analyzing family dynamics, watching people fall in love with their little ones, or fall in love all over again with their loved ones. Life is too short, and it is meant to be enjoyed.

Baby Oliver, here, is the cute result of a multicultural love, he’s half Polish half Romanian and 100% adorable.

I love at home newborn shoots. I say it all the time, I KNOW! But i just love them. The pictures will almost always be guaranteed to look and feel different, and guaranteed to have a relaxed vibe.
