"One Day Young" Photos Show Women With Their Newborn Babies
Every Motherly Emotion Is on Display in These Touching Postbirth Portraits
In the first 24 hours of a baby's life, both mom and child experience so much together. From the chaos of childbirth to the quiet moments spent bonding together, these first hours are some of the most special. In her new book and portrait series One Day Young, photographer Jenny Lewis explores these tender hours between moms and newborns.
After spending five years photographing East London moms during the first 24 hours with their babies, Lewis has compiled the most touching portraits into a book that every mother will love. Check out some of our absolutely favorite shots — you can see every motherly emotion on these women's faces, and it will transport you right back to the day you gave birth.
One Day Young by Jenny Lewis is published by Hoxton Mini Press, available here.
