The birth of Cash Warren. I'm going to let the pictures tell the story and not get too verbose, but I do have to say how deeply humbling it is to be invited into the birth space - especially when it's time and time again. Heather and Tony were my first repeat birth clients - I photographed the birth of their first child, Claire - and (just to show how behind I am on blogging) Cash is now a big brother himself and I photographed the newest addition to the family as well!
Welcome earthside, Cash.
Two weeks old and just the most gorgeous little peanut.
Sweet Madelyn on her first day of life.
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.
These photos were taken on Landon's first day earthside when he was just a few hours old. The magic of a new baby, the making of a family...it never gets old.
Ooooh, this squishy little dude. What a dream.
Landon also had a Fresh 48 Session, so if you're kicking around the idea of one or the other, this is an excellent opportunity to compare the two styles. You can see his Fresh 48 here!
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.
I rarely have the opportunity to shoot weddings...but when I get to, I always enjoy it so much. Jon and Chloe are both originally from Fairbanks but currently live in Seattle. They decided to come home to tie the knot - which they did, surrounded by their families and the ones they love best, on the day after Christmas.
It was pretty magical.
Limited summer and fall sessions are still available! I have a few availabilities beginning in July. Don't wait to book yours now! Drop me a line to inquire about designing your family's custom session or booking a Fresh 48 or Birth Story.
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?
