Nathaniel's Fresh Baby Session

in

This beautiful little guy and his brave, brave mama have such a place in my heart.  Heather originally hired me for birth photography, but due to series of serious complications, it ended up that Heather had to give birth in Anchorage via cesarean section at 34 weeks.  Baby Nathaniel far exceeded everyone's expectations and happily, he was able to travel home north with his two big brothers soon.  We did this session just a few weeks after they returned home to the beautiful chaos that is life with three young kids.  

The McElroy Family is 4

Repeat clients give me all the best fuzzy feelings.  It's especially wonderful to watch them grow!  This was Caleb's first time joining us for the McElroy's annual family session (and what an addition he was!).  I can't wait for this year's session - it'll be here before you know it.  

The Birth of Petra - Fairbanks Birth Photographer

in

This was such a special birth to witness - especially so since Petra's older brother is one of few births I've ever missed!!  (You can read that story here.)  Since her last labor had moved so quickly, Tricia proceeded with caution as her due date neared - very justifiably, as it turned out.  As soon as she recognized a pattern to the gentle contractions she was feeling, we all convened at the birth center - and very quickly, it became apparent that it was no false alarm.  

Petra joined us under the nearing dusk of the midnight sun, born into the waiting hands of her father, and she is simply THE most beautiful baby.  Don't you agree?
