Can I just say that I am addicted to labor and delivery? I was one of those crazy people who got an insane rush out of delivering my children and hearing their cry for the first time. So much so that I was ready to do it all over again. The anticipation that builds up during the labor at the thought of finally getting to meet your baby after waiting 9-10 months. Incredible. With a full household of boys, our family is complete, but I get to live vicariously through my clients as they go down their road of delivery and create their own birth story. My job is to capture and tell that story so that they can cherish it.
This is Elijah’s story.
For starters, mom and dad made the decision to bring this sweet boy into the world by experiencing a water birth. They chose a birthing center and midwife and took hypnobirthing classes to help prepare them for the big day. I got the call at 3 am last Thursday saying that Mom had been experiencing many surges and the midwife expected that we would have a birthday to celebrate that day. They got checked into the North Houston Birth Center at 6:30 and called me to tell me she was already at 5 cm. I arrived at about 7:45 and she was hopping into the water. An hour later she was experiencing many stronger surges. The midwife checked her and she was already complete. Little Elijah made his appearance at 9:20 am after hanging out with Mom for nearly 41 weeks.. The midwife and nurses stood back and watched as mom delivered him on her own with Dad’s help of lifting him out of the water and onto Mom’s chest. Incredible.
Side note, Mom and Dad are young. Like 21 years old young. I never would have been as prepared or as educated as them at their age. I had my oldest at 23 and even then I was very naive and just did whatever I was told without trying to figure out if it was best for him, or the both of us for that matter.
Welcome and Happy Birthday Elijah! You will never know just how much you are loved. Mom, you were amazing and strong. Dad, I have never seen such a more encouraging and loving birthing coach. You definitely made the experience easier for her.
Here is sneak of Elijah’s Birthday. Stay tuned for the slideshow!
Enjoying an herbal tea bath with Mom after being cuddled and fed. Couldn’t be any more calm or happy here.

I have to say that as much as I get tired of the Houston heat and humidity, I really do adore the late summer evenings when the sun is at its best. Mom was glowing when we met up to take her Bump pictures. Despite the heat, the sweat and what seemed like the miles I made her trek during our session, she still slapped on a smile and enjoyed every minute of the session.
You have been an absolute dream of a client, patiently waiting for your sneak, so here it is!
I cannot wait to meet Tucker! Momma, you really are glowing and gorgeous. Enjoy every last minute of this special time.

I never do weddings. I just have never had the drive to try and do them. BUT… when I got the email requesting to do this one, I absolutely could not turn it down. I have followed this family, the mother a woman I used to teach with, over the past 14 months. A lot of you know their story and some of you don’t. Griffin has quite the army and his story has such a happy ending. I will share more about his story and the Love Story that unfolded a little later, but for now a small peek at the beauty and joy this family embarked on this past weekend. Holly, you were {are} beautiful!

The summer of babies continues on in full force. This sweet baby girl was so calm and peaceful. She was so content throughout the session. I fell in love with her right away when I walked in the door and saw her all swaddled and peaceful in the light of the front window. She is just perfect. Oh, and her little lips were plump, pink and absolutely to die for!
Take a peak!

We sure did have fun dressing this little doll up. She was such a stinker and wanted nothing to do with posing for me… that is until we put on her pretty little pink tutu and matching headband. The tutu was not the softest material, but go figure, as soon as she had it on, she went into a coma and got very upset with me when I took it off. Watch out, Dad! Only one week old and she already has style.
My absolute favorite part of the session was getting to feed and cuddle with her. You never know what you will walk into when starting a newborn session. My luck, she was ready to eat, so I jumped on the opportunity to feed, diaper and burp her. 
Take a peak at little {A} and all of her sweetness. Such a cute family.

I have finally completed my new site dedicated to Bellies, Births and Babies. I have only added a few of my most recent births on there right now, but plan for it to also be a place to showcase the Bumps and Babies. Go check it out and also check out last week’s birth.

I had the blessing of being able to capture very sweet memories for a family who is now complete with their third son. I love how there are always curve balls thrown with each labor and delivery that I witness. Everyone has their own story. What’s yours?

I am going to have to go a little out of order here on my peeks. I had a very busy weekend and a wonderful Mother’s Day. I think after 6 years, my husband is getting the hang of it (either that, or my kids are finally getting older and easier to handle without me). Lol! I hope all the moms out there were spoiled rotten and shown great love by their Little Love Bugs.
I met this family on Saturday morning. The weather was in our favor. We didn’t have to deal with all of the wind that we have been experiencing lately and the heat didn’t really kick in until we were walking out after the session. This was such a cute family. The littlest guy in this group talked my ear off on the walk out to the location, but once we got there, refused, and I mean refused, to crack a smile for me. Every time I would get him to smile, he would quickly cover his mouth and then turn his head away from me until he had controlled his grin. So silly! You never know what you are going to get with near two year olds. It is always an adventure.
Take a peek!

A tiny one at that! How cute is this bump? She insisted on meeting early on so that she would have pictures to share at the her shower. I have met Big brother before, but he was under a year old. Now he’s running, laughing and politely saying “no” when he doesn’t want to do something. My favorite part is when he ran up to his mom while we were trying to do bare belly shots and said “No” and proceeded to pull her shirt down. Lol! It worked out in my favor since every time he tried, it deceivingly made it look like he was being super sweet and saying hi to his baby sister. Hehe!
I cannot wait to meet this sweet little girl, even though I will be waiting a good 6-8 weeks to do so. This is definitely going to be a summer of babies!
Take a peek!
I love the look on his face. Lol! Couldn’t resist putting up this outtake.

Definitely hippity, but not from the Easter Bunny. Nope, these kiddos were much more interested in the tree frog that mom caught and put into a water bottle for them. I met them Saturday morning on Little Brother’s 2nd birthday. Have I ever mentioned what it is like photographing kiddos between the age of 18 months – 2 years? It is definitely fun, challenging, but fun. They are certainly off in their own world and want nothing to do with the things you try and bribe them to do. So, instead I follow them around, stalking them if you must, and wait for the rare occasions they sit still for a few minutes. Lol! It is definitely the age that you will capture them at their true state of play. Happy birthday big guy!

There really is such a difference between boys and girls. I don’t care if you have a girl that is the biggest tomboy on this planet. Boys truly are their own species. There really is no other way to describe it. Lol! I got to hang out with this family a couple of weeks ago. Big brother would occasionally stop to pose with his brother and then go off running in circles. I asked him to give his mom a kiss on the cheek and he wanted nothing of it. I ask him to blow a raspberry on her cheek (to make it look like a kiss) and he’s all for spitting all over her face. Hahaha! I often find myself looking at my boys and wondering where in the heck they came from. They can do some of the most strangest things. Wouldn’t trade being a boy mom for the world! Glad to have another mom, like this one, join the club.
