Introducing Baby K

My very first birth session....

An opportunity I've been waiting for...for quite some time.  My sweet little cousin whom I used to babysit for as a kid was expecting her first child.  I emailed her and offered up my services and she loved the idea.  I was ecstatic to be finally venturing into another side of photography.  Capturing families, babies, and children is something I love to do and being able to record those moments during the beginnings of life are all the more special.

I followed her pregnancy the ups & downs and could relate to oh so many of them.  She emailed me often with questions and updates and with each closing day it got more real!  Finally, the end was near.  She had been in and out of the hospital for all sorts of issues and on Monday I get a phone call, text, and email telling me they had decided to induce her early.  She was set for a Thursday induction but baby K had other ideas.

As the evening progressed she also progressed....at 3:23 on Tuesday morning Kane was welcomed into this world by mom, dad, and both grandmothers.  He was the 1st baby of the New Year too!!  He's perfect!!

Thanks so much for allowing me to go through this with you!  It's so hard to believe that I used to baby sit you as a little girl and now your a momma!!  Time flies!

He's precious, Amber!  Don't blink it goes by in a heartbeat.

Can't wait to get my hands on him!!!!


The halls were calm and empty.
