Birthing Center- Natural Birth!

I had the opportunity to capture an amazing miracle with a very great friend and family member! We did lots of walking.....and more walking...some squats...and then more walking. Finally Christian decided that he was going to come. It was a wonderful experience for me and I know that it was for her as well. Childbirth is painful, point blank. But the experience you get having the freedom to move around and deal with your pain in your own way, is amazing. The midwives become family. I also had the opportunity to labor here. I will never forget my experience and I know that she will not as well.
Without further adieu......

Big Brother and Sister!!!

Big Sister was so amazing! She was there for mom every step of the way! We are so proud of her.

It was so emotional. You could feel the love for baby Christian.

I can not express how blessed I feel to have been apart of these amazing day! Thank you {M} for letting me be a part of Christian's birth. YOU were amazing.

{Noah} turns 5

I love that my clients, friends and family continue to return to me for new events in their lives! I have been photographing Noah for the past few years and it is so much fun to watch him grow up. He turned 5 recently and we took him out to a place that would be perfect for him. A place with a blue truck! He could get in and on the truck and I knew this would be a great place for a 5 year old boy! He loved it and the pictures turned out great.
This is Noah....

 He has seriously got the cutest smile!

 Playing a little game with me....he is so sweet!

I love to watch these kids grow up. I just hope it isn't too fast!

Add on to the {Jones} family

I love when my families come to me with an idea they have! There is a special one in here. I won't say which...but there is one!
