Sam's Maternity Session

Sam has reached nine months and should be giving her husband the news any time that her water broke. I remember the panic that those words sent me into as a young soon to be father. Getting everything together, making calls, driving as careful as I could, trying to be patient while being so excited. What a great time in our lives is the birth of a child, especially that first one! I tell people it's like winning the grand prize. I can't wait to see the baby and create it's first portrait! What a tremendous blessing it is for all of us.

Ava's Newborn Portraits

I had the pleasure of photographing miss Ava Elisabeth yesterday! Born September 5, 2008 to Stephanie & Adam. During their session mom & dad were both gleaming like they had won the grand prize, which of course paled in comparison to receiving their gift of a little baby girl.

They are so little when they first come home from the hospitial. Isn't she so cute you could just hug her up. Ahh and that new baby smell!
