Miss Daniel's Day

What an honor to attend the birth of any baby, but when it is family it just means so much. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law (not the same sister-in-law as in March!) welcomed their first baby girl into the family September 29th. She has a sweet big brother to show her the ropes, and I am thrilled to post Miss Daniel's video. Thank you Justin and Val!

Miss Daniel's Arrival

I'm thrilled to post this preview of Little Miss Daniel. She arrived Thursday at 9 p.m. in a fury. Such a sweet little girl - all 6 lbs. 12 oz. of her! I just wanted to share a quick preview of some of her story.

Miss Daniel's Countdown

It's been a while and I've been busy, it just hasn't been so baby related so I've not put things on the blog. I may start another page within the blog to show some work I've done of things other than bellies and births. I got the opportunity to take some photos of my blossoming sister in law (not the one you just saw the birth of this year! I have 2! And we are being blessed with babies!) this month, so I wanted to share her sweet belly while we wait on pins and needles for Little Miss Daniel.

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!
