I was relaxing on the couch after church. Okay so I was sleeping and drooling at that. lol Chase calls and said it is time. I jump up wipe my slobber (lol) and head to Tifton to the hospital. I was so excited my first live birth to photograph since I have been in business. I have wanted to offer this service and the opportunity finally came with this sweet couple. Anyways, I headed to Tifton, and I was nervous and beyond excited. I usually get butterflys before a session anyways, I get so excited and I want to do my very best for my clients. I got there and Chase was standing outside the operating room waiting patiently to go in. He checked in with the doctors and nurses and they came out and suited me up in my pretty blue with my mask and such pretty blue shoe covers- haha. As soon as Bowen was delivered they let me come in to photograph from that moment on. When I walked in they were still working on Jodi, I focused on that new sweet bundle of joy and photographed the footprints and them checking him out. Chase gets to hold Bowen for the first time to take him to his sweet wife to see for the first time. I am telling you there was such love in this room. Everyone was very sweet and eager to let me get to the spots I needed to capture those sweet moments for them. As I watched this couple I felt so much peace and comfort knowing how amazing God is and how he brought such happiness to this much deserved couple. I kept it together and continued snapping away. From then on I captured daddy rolling baby Bowen to the nursery and stopping outside the door for the parents to get their first looks, and another sweet moment captured:). I continued around the corner took baby Bowen in for his weigh in and daddys proud moment to ring the hospital bell:) I also got to photograph little man getting his first bath, and boy did he love his head under that faucet, that warm water felt so cozy. The moment that got me was mommy back in her room waiting to get her hands on her new sweet bundle of joy. Chase comes bringing him in and I photographed from the time he hit the door until the baby was in mommy's arm. That was truly a moment I will NEVER forget. All of us mommy's know how wonderful that moment is. The tears of joy come rolling down her face, and my heart is singing for them both.
Yes, this is def. something I will be offering in 2012 and forever:) Those first time moments that I never even got to see with my babies being born they will have those moments captured and sealed in such a loving way. Photography is amazing it freezes those moments so you can look back at them and feel the moment. I love what I do, and I am so blessed that God has given me this opportunity. I am so passionate about what I do, and so eager to please all my sweet clients. I know that birth sessions will be in my appointment book in the next year, and I am delighted to offer this new service to my clients.
Thank you Jodi and Chase for allowing me to be a part of one of the happiest moments in your lives, I will never forget how you made me feel so special and how appreciative you were that I was there. My cup runneth over and I am truly blessed for this experience. Thanks everyone and so sorry this was long winded, I was just writing how I know best straight from the heart.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT 2012 HAS IN STORE FOR
