Miss Gray, rewound

Now that Miss Gray's birth photos are finished, I had to share them, even though you've already seen what a doll she is. I was so priviledged to get to document her birth, and it was a blessing to me! Miss Gray is my second niece! My brother and sister in law now have a brood of 3. I love seeing babies born, but when you are the auntie, it's extra special!

Miss Gray

So her birth is not quite done, but I can't resist posting some faves from my afternoon with Miss Gray and her momma. Big Bro and Big Sis were napping so we had some quiet time and just took it easy napping and nursing. Enjoy! (5 days old)








Can you tell I was a little partial to that big pink flower?!




What a sweet smiley girl!

Mr. Mason

This wasn't Master Mason's First Moments, but it was the first time I got to meet him. At the time of these pics, he was 8 weeks old. He is the second son of some very special friends of mine and my husbands. It was an honor to meet him and his big brother and share some time with the family!

Miss Frackelton

I was honored to be a part of Miss Frackelton's birth the day before Valentine's Day. I spent some time with Mom and Dad and big sis that morning at home, and after mom had some rest time, joined them at the hospital around 4:30 p.m. Momma Frackelton did an awesome job sticking with her birth plan and doing what was best for her and baby girl Frackelton. I am so awed at these strong mommas and witnessing birth from a whole new perspective. I tear or cry everytime a new baby cries, and marvel at how complete and perfect they are. Thank you Frackelton's for sharing this day with me!

Miss Summers

What an exciting event! I had waited on pins and needles - like a nervous auntie or godmother - to get the call that it was go time. Miss Summers mom was staying at home as long as possible with her husband and other 6 children before coming to the hospital to meet this new baby girl - who was the tie breaker by the way. Watching this lady go through this amazing part of life was such a blessing. She got to the hospital at 10 til 8, and Miss Summers made her arrival at 8:09 p.m. 20 minute job. Awesome. She was amazing and I loved being a part!

















Begin at the Beginning

What an exciting endeavor this is proving to be! I have been able to be a witness to the most miraculous part of life and document it for a mom that was busy at work during that time. Thank you to the moms that have included me in their deliveries, and I am looking forward to sharing this service with other mothers who desire that special documentation.
