At 2AM I got a call from Tom telling me Sarah’s contractions were getting stronger, and that the midwives were on their way over. I told him to let me know how much she has progressed once her midwive got to the house and checked. I tried to get back to sleep, but it was to no avail. By 3:45AM I hadn’t heard back, and that made me a bit nervous. I called Tom back to find out how things were going. It was time to head over. So while the rest of my family slept I threw on my clothes, grabbed my bag, and told my husband good-bye.
I’ve entered quiet births before, but never with so many people. I was so impressed that with about 6 additional people this mom and dad were able to get the beautiful homebirth they had so desired. Sarah was amazing. Their beautiful, red-headed baby girl entered the world as the sun was rising through the window. At 8:11AM on June 3rd, 2014 Tom and Sarah finally got to meet their precious baby.
I can’t wait to share her newborn images with you as well, but for now you all get to witness this awesome birth story thanks to mom and dad’s approval. Enjoy!
I just love this sweet little guy. He is usually all smiles, but this particular morning he wasn’t so much. It took a little bit more effort to get these, but so completely worth it! Mom told me he woke from his nap later that day with a fever…which make these images all the more amazing! Can’t wait to see him again at a year. XO
A beautiful family on a beautiful spring day. These sweet kiddo’s made my job way too easy. My hope during every session is that I can capture a child’s true personality. These two sure let me see that, and I hope they enjoy their images for years to come.
People often ask me how I decide what pictures to put up in my own house. Often times I have to be honest and tell them I can’t…which is why I still have too many empty walls. Hahaha! But truthfully I pick the images that on a bad day I can look at my walls and my spirit is lifted. Images that speak to me. Sometimes that is a picture of a beautiful smile, but not always. Go with the images that speak to you. You can’t go wrong.
