Webb Newborn Session by Rockport Family Photographer Mae Burke-27.jpg

Welcome Baby Whit

Mae Czarnecki June 6, 2020

You may remember this gorgeous mama and her sweet home from her maternity session a few months ago. Nationwide Stay at Home orders had been put in place and we were all unsure what exactly this meant for Carly’s birth plans. Her story is one shared by mamas all over the world. I am so happy I got to meet her precious boy at home after COVID-19 restrictions had been eased up a bit

From Carly -

A friend sent this to me shortly after giving birth, and it really struck a chord with me -becoming even more apparent and true as the days pass and I reflect back on this entire first month

The emotional labor pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the phycical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth- perhaps even more sacred.” - Joy Kusek

From Carly

“Even though the COVID-19 Pandemic took some precious moments away from us with not being able to welcome our first child into this world surrounded by friends and family, it provided me with ample reflection time- time to be fully present and lean into this internal change, which has been the most amazing part of being a new mom for me.”

From Carly

“And with Mae’s eye for capturing the beauty in the day to day moments, we are at least able to share these beautiful images of life with our son with loved ones (many of whom live far away) and it’s like they’re right here with us in our home. We will forever be grateful to her for that.”
