How do I support my partner after birth?

Supporting your partner after birth isn’t about grand gestures.

It’s about the boring stuff: refilling their water bottle, doing the night nappy change, telling them “you’re doing amazing” when they burst into tears because the toast burned.

The newborn phase is rough, and no one gets a trophy for being a hero on their own.

You’ve gotta tag-team it.

If your partner just gave birth, their hormones are throwing an absolute rave in their body.

What they need most is kindness, patience, and maybe someone else to answer that seventh text from the in-laws.

As a Brisbane newborn photographer, I see this dynamic play out every day.

The couples who support each other through the haze? They’re the ones who leave my studio feeling like a team.

At Family Photography by Natarsha March, I’ve been photographing new families for over 14 years, and I keep things relaxed and easy so everyone, yes, even the tired partners, can feel comfortable and cared for.

My job isn’t just to capture beautiful baby portraits. It’s to celebrate all the love in your family, and help you look back and say, “We made it.”
