You’re too old.
“I’m sorry but you’re too old”.
Now I’d be gutted if someone said that to me. But just imagine hearing that when you’re barely 3 weeks old.
You’ve had a busy 3 weeks. Being born, skin to skin time, mastering feeding… that took a good few days. Then there was grandmas and papas to meet. Then all the aunties and cousins. Then so many others people turned up to see you, ( mum’s old baby sitter, from 30 years ago …apparently).
And there’s constant visits from midwives and health visitors, and your mama has been very tired as she’s just given birth and 3 weeks has just gone by in a flash.
And then you hear your beautiful mum on the phone to a newborn photographer….it wasn’t something that she thought of in advance, because she didn’t know that “newborn photography” was a thing.
But now she desperately wants to have incredible memories before you grow any more…. But the photographer says “Your baby is too old!”… “Yes I’m so sorry, I only photograph babies up to 10 days old”.
Too old at 3 weeks!!! Utter rubbish.
You need to get your mama to contact me, Ally at Mabel & Møøse. I will never turn a baby away, ( if I have space.)
Age is just a number, even at 3 weeks.
