Capturing the Sweet Squishy Moments: Rowan, 12 Hours After Birth

There’s something magical about the first few hours after a baby is born – the world feels a little softer, a little warmer, and every little detail feels like pure magic. Rowan, only 12 hours old, is already teaching us the power of those fleeting first moments.

His tiny fingers, still curled from the womb, grasp the world around him with a new sense of curiosity. His skin, soft and squishy, has that fresh newborn glow, still adjusting to the outside world. The little sighs he makes as he drifts in and out of sleep are both peaceful and precious, reminding us how quickly time flies.

It’s hard to describe the joy of holding a brand-new life so close – the feeling of warmth, of love, and of all the potential he holds in those sweet, sleepy moments. With every tiny stretch of his limbs, every soft coo, it’s clear that Rowan’s journey has just begun, but these early hours? They’re already memories we’ll treasure forever.

Capturing moments like these, 12 hours after birth, reminds us how beautiful the simplest things can be. Welcome to the world, Rowan – we’re so glad you're here.
