birth photographer~ hellam, pa

whew! i am behind! been a little under 

the weather the past 2 weeks with my health.

i got much needed rest,

which also allowed me to

catch up on some props that have

been on my to do list.

but this post slipped my mind until today.

and i need to post before this little man has his

newborn session on the 4th.

all that being said..i was

so incredibly blessed that my friend

invited me into the delivery room to

capture the birth of her first child.

i have given birth to 3 beautiful children and 

after this session i realized just how

much i missed during their births.

truly the most beautiful miracle

i have ever seen!

thanks my friend, for blessing ME,

with the birth of your son.

welcome to the world

BENTLEY 

blessings!

my first baby girl.

welcome to the world baby E.

took awhile but she soon snuggled in.

she wasn't having ANY naked baby

poses though,

so we just went with it.

absolutely beautiful, just under 7 lbs,

with lips to die for!

what a story she will hear one day

of how she was born on the living room floor!

blessings!

i have had the pleasure of knowing this

glowing 'mother to be' for a few years now.

a child can be the miracle some of us SO 

desperately need.

 unconditional love.

thank you for allowing me to capture

this time for you.

patiently waiting on the arrival of

'Bentley'

blessings!

i was SO excited when a coworker and friend of mine

told me her daughter's twin boys were on 

the way. out came my knitting needles

as i needed 'twin props' of course.

i anxiously awaited their birth.

then anxiously awaited their time in the

NICU as they grew healthier and put on a 

little weight.

this gave me time to plan

and dream up their session.

grandma said they slept ALL

the time.

until they got to my home for their photo session.

wide awake and SO very hungry.

but after a little cuddling,

they finally settled in,

and i had the chance to capture

my first set of twins!

welcome 

Noah & Elijah

bright eyed and bushy tailed.

but their little tummies filled up

and they were fast asleep!

can't wait to watch these little ones

grow!

blessings!
