More from Noland’s birth [Delaware Birth Photographer]
March 25, 2010One 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.
Freshly Born Baby [Delaware Birth Photographer]
March 24, 2010There’s nothing better in the world a brand new baby and I had the incredible opportunity to document that today. Just barely though — Mom progressed super quickly and by the time I got the call that she was close, I sprinted to the hospital just in time. I literally walked in the door, started shooting and within probably 40 SECONDS, baby Noland was born. Simply amazing.
Just one image to share for now. This was the first shot I fired off. Take a good look at the clock in the background. Noland was born at 1:41 pm. :)
More images coming soon . . .
