Quickest Finished Photos Ever

So, I just did this shoot this morning. I normally don't get them finished this quick but I have a crazy couple of weeks ahead of me. I knew if I didn't get them done it would bug me in the back of my mind! Thanks to Rachel who was my second set of hands!!

Sneak Peek of Aubrey's Newborns

I couldn't resist posting this little sneak peek :) 

Aubrey

Second baby in a row that decided she wanted to come into the world high fiving with her little hand up! Her momma did SO well!

Note: The reason the bath water looks like a cup of hot tea is because, well, basically it is. This is the herbal bath that mom and baby share after the birth is over. 

Just 'cause she's cute

Eliza

The Martin's

This family is so much fun and was great to put up with all my experiments. A trip down the street and a pocket full of BLUE jelly beans later...

My Hunk'a Luv

Anytime I'm over I pull out my camera, so Eliza's newborn shots have been done in segments, here and there, and whenever she decides to let me mess with her while she's sleeping. Because I'm such a proud "auntie", you'll be seeing a lot more of this baby girl on my blog. So I hope you like chubby cheeks and wrinkly little lips, because I can't resist them! :)

Chunky Monkey Love

Aaron, Morgan, my husband and I all four started as friends. Aaron and Morgan got married first, and then we followed suit a year later! It's been so crazy to go from single kids hanging out at Starbucks to all the ups and downs of marriage to now...our first baby! It seems like we've been waiting forever to kiss on this little face. I still cannot see these photos without tears a'flowin. Also--just to brag on my sweet friend--Morgan delivered all TEN pounds of Eliza, all natural (no drugs!), with her little hand up around her head (adding on about an inch of width to deliver) AND Eliza's head was coming crooked. Morgan's midwife (aka my mom) said normally a first time mom would not have been able to do that, especially without tearing. But Morgan did. She was extremely focused and so very peaceful, as you will see in the photos. There were many, many moments of praising Jesus for answering our cries over and over again. I cannot express how proud I am of her and how much I LOVE this little girl!

Ladies and gentlemen...

My Intentions

There are some of you who have found your way to my blog site from a referral. For this, I am so grateful and hope you enjoy what you see. However, I feel that there is an issue that must be addressed. My photography business has been built on passion. Am I trying to make a living off it? Absolutely. But trace it back to the beginning and you'll find passion. There are photographers that I work and socialize with in the area that I am positive feel the same way. 

Recently I've learned  that a client of mine is very upset with the service she received from one of my fellow birth photographers, Lynsey Stone. I say "fellow", but in all reality she has been doing this much longer than me, is more experienced than me and I would almost consider her more of a mentor than a peer. The reasons for the upset are none of my business and I intend to keep it that way, but because I have been referred in place of her, I feel the need to diffuse any spirit of competitiveness and state my intentions. 

By all means, if a client is upset or feels they have been wronged I encourage respectful and honest communication and would hope that things could be worked out in a calm and decent manner. In my experience, Lynsey is an honest wife, mother and photographer who is very talented and has worked hard to build one of the most successful businesses as a birth photographer in the DFW area. While my personal experiences with this client have all been positive as well, I will not be involved in or support any conflict that does not directly involve me. 

Again, thank you for visiting my blog and I appreciate your time in reading this.
