The Magnificent Baby M

I have complete respect for all mothers, no matter the kind of birth they experience.  It takes a lot of courage and sacrifice to birth a child regardless of whether it is a natural birth, medicated or a c-section.  I have a strong sense of pride for the women I photograph!  They are all amazing women who love their children selflessly day in and day out.  

Baby M's birth was one of those that doesn't come often I believe, and her mother deserves a gold medal for the strength and courage she had during the process.  She stayed calm when the nurses in triage told her she was already dilated to a 9!  She stayed calm as the doctors and nurses got everything in order while she felt the strong urge to push and birth her baby.  All I can think is that Baby M must have had a deadline she wanted to meet, because that little lady came fast and furious!  From start to finish it was maybe a measly 2 and half hours, maybe!  It was quite extraordinary!  It was a joy to watch her daddy swoon over her.  It was easy to tell how much he loves his little girls!  It was my true pleasure to be a part of this beautiful birth!  Way to go momma, you rocked it in every way!  Thank you for letting me be a part of it!

6 month milestone!

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to take some photos for baby G's 6 month milestone.  Her birth was beautiful and it was a privilege to be able to photograph her then and now.  She is growing so quickly and she is so beautiful in every way.  Her daddy is a fireman and I loved the fact that her family wanted to incorporate that into her photos.  I feel honored to have met this amazing family and I am grateful I have been able to capture such monumental milestones for them!
