Birth Photography

When my baby sister asked for me to take part in her delivery of her first baby, I was over the moon!! I never photographed a birth before, but I was so ready to take on this new adventure. As with many births, things don't go as planned and my sister ended up having to have a c-section. I was disappointed that I didn't get those amazing first shots of Greyson Dean being born, but I glad I was there before and after for some intimate shots.

Baby Merrick {Newborn Shoot}

Not every newborn shoot goes perfectly, and Mr. Merrick Dean gave me quite the challenge. For such a young guy, he definitely knew how to run the show!! Didn't like being swaddled, lay on his belly, or even be out of mommy's arms.

But, we took our time and eventually got the shots we needed. My favorite simple pose of him...

Baby Abigail {Newborn Shoot}

Baby Abigail was born to a high school friend of mine and boy was she cute!!! I absolutely loved those cheeks and piercing eyes. She was just so perfect for me and didn't make a sound. Even when awake, she was ready to pose!!!

Baby Ezra {Newborn Shoot}

Introducing my first shoot of 2013... baby Ezra!!! Since this was my hubby's very best friend's first baby, I decided to drag him along to help. I needed it too because I am starting to get very pregnant! By the time I get things set up, I'm exhausted. So, his help was greatly appreciated.

Ezra's parents had a very special request, seeing as daddy was in the military and HUGE baseball fans. I love the shots we got...
