Two mums, awed by that first precious moment parents meet their new baby, set up The First Hello Project, a series of amazing post-labour photos.

 

Sydney photographers River Bennet and Bel Pangburn set out to capture that moment your life changes forever – meeting the little one that spent the previous nine months cuddled in your tummy.

 

They beautifully capture the looks of elation, of relief, of disbelief that say, “I can’t believe I created this amazing creature!”

 

The images are pretty much perfect proof of the wonder of Mother Nature, and the instantaneous special connection between a baby and their parents.

 

Just gorgeous.

 

 

 

 

To all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and daughters - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY XO

Welp, we didn’t intend to scare our pregnant friends with that last ‘FUN’ fact we just took down! Haha. Yes labour is very painful, but gosh the reward is MORE than worth it! Read this from one of our TFH clients : "Labour is one of life’s most intense experiences. The anticipation, pain, fear and excitement clouded my ability to fully appreciate what I was going through. Seeing images of Mari’s journey into the world after one month, one year, and now almost three years, I’m taken back to those moments and experience them in new ways. I am reminded of the strength I never knew I was capable of, the depth of emotion on my husband’s face, and that moment - the moment my little love looked up into my eyes and stole my heart."
