Lilah | Summer Session

I always think it's fun to go back and re-edit sessions from a while ago just to see how much my style/work has changed. I love the way I edited them before, but I love the way I edited them now too. I never really posted many pictures from this session, but I thought they turned out so beautifully that they needed to be blogged. My little girly looks so gorgeous. I cannot believe how much she has grown though!

Also? I really cannot wait for spring! I've only had one session outside with my new camera and I've been practicing lots of new techniques. I can't wait to try them both out with some natural light and pretty spring colors!

Anyways, Enjoy!

                        

Now help me decide which one should be blown up on our wall... I love them all! 

Thanks for reading!

Aydin | Birth

I've know Kelsie and her family for about 6 years now and we've been talking off and on throughout her pregnancy.  About a month ago she asked me if I'd be interested in photographing her birth. I was a little nervous because I had never been to another birth let alone photographed one! I am so glad that I took her up on the offer. It was a truly amazing experience. 

Kelsie told me around 3 pm on the 28th that she thought her water had broke. They went to the hospital soon after and by 5:30 she was having contractions.  I told her family to let me know when she reached 6cm and I'd come to the hospital. Well, that didn't happen until around 7:00 in the morning! Poor Kelsie was in labor for another 12 hours after that before she finally reached 10 cm. With the support of her family, she handled her contractions like a rockstar! After what seemed like forever Aydin finally made his entrance into the world at 7:21 pm on the 29th of January. I was overwhelmed with joy! He is such a beautiful little boy. Kelsie and his father Elisha are very lucky! 

                                                    Here is a slideshow of his birth!

PS. The song, picked by Kelsie, is Small Bump is Ed Sheeran.
