Today, I had the privilege of being there to welcome a new life in the world. This mommy & daddy are both so brave – he is in the Marines serving our country and has most recently been, literally, on the front lines in Afghanistan. She has been bravely waiting for his return so that they could love this baby together! The new grandma was there, too, to lend her support on the big day. Enjoy this peek into Gregory’s birth day:

Every once in a while, we have a newborn who visits the studio WIDE awake! Typically, they are good and asleep from the car ride over, but sometimes I need to employ my mom-of-two-non-sleepers ninja skills. (ha ha!) This little beauty came to me the first time (that’s right, it took two tries!!) and was absolutely NOT going to give up. So, we decided to give her a couple more days to settle into a sleeping schedule (you know the newborn sleep all day, up all night schedule?)…but she was pretty awake again! I think she’s going to be a very curious little girl!
Gorgeous mommy + Gorgeous daddy = DOUBLE gorgeous baby!

When one of my best friends asked me to be there to photograph the birth of her third child, I was so thrilled. Her first baby came via c-section, after a long and hard labor. We actually met right before she had her son, I had just given birth to my daughter. We became friends, bonding over scrapbooking and photos. Then, when I told her I was pregnant with my second child, she let me in on the fact that she, too, was expecting! Our children, both sets only a few months apart in age, have played together over the past few years and we have developed a wonderful friendship. Welcoming this third child into the world, the second VBAC for her, was such an honor. Being able to laugh with family members, capture the intimate moments, and even shed a tear or two in joy with them makes this much less a job and much more a privilege.
