I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the birth of the sweetest little baby girl. Her parents were anxious to have her first moments of life documented and I was honored they chose me to capture this for them.

Side note****: I feel like births are so incredible. I have photographed a few so far and I become emotional in all of them. It is... indescribable how much they denote a miracle. I have never had a baby myself, but to witness such a miracle is incomparable to anything I have experienced before. The love that exists in the room is thick and tangible. Such a fresh little spirit sent from Heavenly Father is so peaceful and I just LOVE photographing this special moment for families.

I am not posting the actual birth, but the day after I returned to get some more photos of this sweet family and their first moments of life together. It amazes me how different life becomes the moment that little one joins a family. The whole dynamic changes. You once were two and now you're three.. and 4 and 5 and 6 and and and. Every single newborn is different and brings with them a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future... This little Poppy brought this all right along with her. Thank you for letting me capture this special moment for you guys!!

First time meeting Grandma (She lived too far and wasn't able to make it)
