April Birthstone and Flowers

April babies are fortunate to have the diamond as their birthstone, symbolizing purity, strength, and clarity of thought. Diamonds are not only renowned for their beauty and rarity but also represent resilience and the ability to overcome challenges. Just as diamonds endure as one of the hardest substances on Earth, April babies embody strength and fortitude in facing life’s obstacles.

The birth flowers for April are the daisy and the sweet pea, each carrying its own symbolism and charm.

Daisies are iconic symbols of innocence, purity, and new beginnings. Their cheerful appearance and simple beauty mirror the fresh start associated with April, as nature awakens from its winter slumber.

Sweet peas, on the other hand, are delicate and fragrant flowers that bloom in various colours. They symbolize gratitude and appreciation, reflecting the sentiments of joy and thankfulness often associated with springtime.

Zodiac Signs: Aries and Taurus

April spans two zodiac signs: Aries (March 21 – April 19) and Taurus (April 20 – May 20), each bringing distinct personality traits and characteristics.

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by the ram and ruled by the fiery planet Mars. Those born under this sign are known for their dynamic and energetic personalities, embodying the spirit of a natural leader and pioneer.

Aries individuals are bursting with vitality and enthusiasm. They approach life with a sense of urgency and passion, tackling challenges head-on. Independence is a hallmark trait of Aries. They value autonomy and prefer to forge their own path rather than follow the crowd. Aries exudes positivity and optimism, viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. They speak their mind and value honesty in their interactions.

Taurus, symbolized by the bull and ruled by the planet Venus, embodies traits of stability, reliability, and sensuality. Those born under this sign are known for their steadfast nature and appreciation for life’s pleasures.

Taurus individuals are rooted in practicality and value stability in all aspects of life. They are reliable and trustworthy. They possess immense perseverance and determination. Once they set a goal, they pursue it with unwavering dedication. Taurus is known for their patience and calm demeanour, especially during challenging times and their inner strength and resilience, capable of weathering storms with grace and determination.

Moments like this are the gems in a session. They don’t always come.

But when they do, I’m ready.

No AI image could give you this. Maybe a fake photo, but without the lived experience, it’s just another pretty picture.

Dad saw the smile happen. Mum was watching them both. It was real, and it lasted only a few seconds.

The print is what lets you relive it forever

Not just a digital file, something tangible, after something real.

What’s a moment you wish you had a print of?

I’m definitely not a poet. I’ve never called myself a writer.
I’m a photographer.

But these lines came out of me almost on their own during the breastfeeding project. As if they’d been waiting for a page.

This is the third and last part.
Thank you for reading it with me. I hope you enjoyed it.

Part two of the poem I wrote while working on Milk Tales. If you missed part one, it’s on my page, or click on the reel.

It’s a raging storm,
and the calm sea at dusk.
It’s the sun that tempts you,
the rain that breaks you.

It’s burning fire
that stirs what words can’t say.
It’s a path of discovery,
lit in your own way.

A journey that strips you bare,
but clothes you in new grace.
Each drop of milk
a vow you won’t erase.

Third and last one coming soon. Don’t miss it.

While I was working on my breastfeeding personal project a few years ago, a poem slowly grew in me, written in Italian.

This is the translated version, which became part of Milk Tales, a book of photography and stories from 25 mothers, including my own.

I never shared the poem publicly, until now.
Part one of three. Follow for more.

Nobody tells you that the last weeks of pregnancy are also the last weeks of being just you.

You’re not quite a mother, yet. But you’re not quite yourself anymore either.

Somewhere in between, carrying a whole person you haven’t met.

This is the photo of the woman you were, right before.

Before the sleepless nights. Before you start disappearing, just a little, into someone else’s story for a while.

If you’re in it right now, I’d love to capture it for you.
