Slideshow:  The Birth of Noah

His birth was quiet and quick (59 minutes after I arrived quick!).  It was filled with love and joy and tears and a ton of beautiful little moments.  He’s blessed with a calm, loving mother and a father who is just head over heals in love with his life and his family and two big brothers that will make growing up so much fun.  Noah, as well as both of his brothers were all born at home, in the same room.  That is totally amazing, but now they can never move!  HA!  Congrats to the entire family and thank you for letting me share Noah’s birth […]

I had a maternity session scheduled for tonight to capture a cute little baby bump.  I still met up with this beautiful family, but they were photographed a little differently than initially planned for today!

Out of all the mommy/baby photos I’ve captured, yeah, that one goes in right toward the top of the list.  Love it.  Pure joy!

Congrats A & T on your beautiful new baby girl!!

1.  Yesterday on the way home from preschool Taryn chatted in the backseat about the clouds and the sky.  Then all of a sudden I hear…..”Mommy, I bet God is old, you know, reaaaallllly oooooooooold.”  So I asked her how old she thinks God is and she said “thirty“.  Awesome.  I’m older than God.  And I thought older than dirt was bad.  That’s ok, its not quite as bad as the time when Ty was about her age and asked my Mom what it was like to live when the dinosaurs roamed the earth….bwahahaha!

2.  Another car thing….when we leave our house we have a choice of two entrances to our neighborhood to leave through, one to the right, one to […]

Birth photography is my passion.  I love all kinds of births, medicated, unmedicated, the ones in the hospital, the ones at home.  Each one is the beginning of a story.  Each one is different and unique and special.  And I get to be there.  But here is what I love the most about home births….

It’s like being in on a secret.  While the rest of the world goes on about it’s business, there is something amazing and wonderful and REAL going on behind that door.  There is a MOMENT of LIFE.  The world is changing right then and there.  And no one knows.  In a hospital, these things are expected.  But […]
