One of the reasons I was so happy to be able to be there for the birth of this beautiful little baby boy was because his Daddy is deployed and was unable to come home for the birth. So I am excited to get these images processed so that Mom can share them with Daddy.
Be forewarned — there is a lot of images in this post. And if you want to continue to [wrongly] believe that babies are born all clean and shiny, then don’t go any further.
I love this last one. The whole family was there and while it had been a whirlwind of activity, it suddenly died down for a moment and everyone got very quiet. It was so peaceful and I don’t know quite how to explain it, but to me, this is the exact moment Noland truly became a part of their family.



















Erin, these are the most touching photos I think I’ve ever seen… I am seriously about to cry looking at these. Amazing!
Wow! These are really amazing photos! Great Work!
These are amazing…. Great photos….
Erin, I just hopped over to visit via Sharlene Hudson and Noland’s birth photos are simply stunning!
My daughter and SIL just had my granddaughter’s first photo session with local photographer here in Vancouver, WA and her name is also Erin!
You have AMAZING talent and I thank you for sharing your photos with me. Have a SUPERB week and if I noted correctly, you are expecting, like ANY time???
CONGRATS!
Warm regards,
