A Newborn Story

The Tiniest Supporter: A Story of Resilience & the Canberra Brave

Some stories are so special they deserve to be told—even if they’re shared a little later than planned.

Back in 2025, I had the absolute honour of welcoming little Jasper into the studio. While every newborn session is unique, this one carried a weight and a beauty that stayed with me long after the gallery was delivered.

“Real families, real stories, and milestones that are so much more than just a photo.”

Pictured in his Daddy’s Canberra Brave jersey and holding a tiny knitted hockey stick and puck—lovingly handmade by his grandmother—Jasper’s portraits were a celebration of whirlwind love, incredible resilience, and a community coming together.

As Seen in Region Canberra

It was a proud moment for Bronwyn Parsons Photography to have Jasper’s story featured by Region Canberra, highlighting the newest fan cheering on the Brave.

Capturing these moments—where personal history and community spirit collide—is exactly why I do what I do.
