A New Life!

I love the many reminders we have in springtime of New Life. To me, it doesn't get much better than watching the world transition from dormant brown to lush green, hearing the cheerful chirping of celebratory birds, and enjoying the wonderful "just-right" temperatures experience for but a few short weeks here. This spring has brought an even more awe-inspiring experience for me.

I was given the opportunity to discover something about myself, something that personally and professionally I had very much desired to learn: would I enjoy the experience of birth photography? By divine appointment, I believe, a wonderful family welcomed me into their lives and hearts. I was thrilled to have the amazing privilege of being there with them to document the arrival of Miss C into the world! And yes, I shed some tears of joy over this incredible miracle of new life...how could I not? Here is a bit of her story:








And by the way, the answer to my question is a resounding "yes!" I will be offering birth photography to my clients in the very near future!

These are such powerful and priceless images. You did an amazing job of capturing such a special, and once in a lifetime moment. I would have loved to have had pictures like these when my daughter was born.
