Family Maternity : NC Baby Photographers

Our afternoon light was perfect as you will see.  This little family was super excited to soon meet baby sis.  The miracle of life never gets old and every time I photograph an expecting Mom and soon after their newborn it constantly reminds me of how precious life really is and how fast it flies. This sweet baby came several weeks later! Her session will be blogged very soon. <3 much love

Brand New: A Birth Story

Phew this could be a long blog post so I'll do my best to keep it short.  Of all the things I photograph there is just something about a birth.  I can't explain it or describe.  After photographing one several months ago I knew I loved and adored the entire thing.  Being a Mom and giving birth to two beautiful children I loved being on the other side of the picture.  Its amazing.  The night before this little angel was born I got a text from the Mom saying she was having contractions but nothing to be concerned with at that point.  Ryan and I were in Blowing Rock shooting a wedding and I almost panicked! Mom reassured me all was well but giving me a heads up she thinks things are beginning.  We stayed in touch ALL night.  I literally could not sleep.  The excitement and nervousness of wanting to get there to make sure I missed nothing.  All of my stuff was packed and ready to go at the door.  At around 4:00am she text to let  me know she decided to head on in to the hospital.  I got up grabbed some coffee and right before I hit the door my next text said…water broke!  I knew then I had to hurry.  This was her second baby and they usually come much quicker!  I snapped a pic of the full moon that morning literally as Im getting in my car.  This morning was perfect in so many ways.  I walked in to nurses doing all they do, Mom in full labor and Dad doing a fantastic job staying by Mom's side.  This baby came super fast once I arrived at the hospital and the entire experience is one I will never forget.  What a complete blessing.  Watching one of God's creations and miracles happen right in front of me.  Being able to experience it fully and capture it was incredibly awesome.  These moments are completely real and nothing is staged or posed.  Real moments and raw emotions….  Tears fell behind my camera as little Ari came into the world… I put together a little video to share Ari's birth.  Enjoy~ Wow, friends just no way to put into words… look forward to the photographing many more of these…
