My first birth

It’s really late, or really early, or whatever. I just got back from photographing my first birth.
Amazing, and humbling and just so so cool. I’m on a total birth high, and I didn’t even have to give birth!
p.s. he beat Valentine’s day by one minute.

    He weighed 9 lbs and (almost) 12 ounces. She just emailed me: his name is Peter Martin (they had not decided when I left). And she did so awesome! I can’t wait to put together the slideshow.

    Ceara I admit this made me think another baby might not be so bad. Oh he was so snuggly looking and tiny!

    Awesome!!!! Did you have any problems getting the okay to take pictures in a hospital? The photo that you showed is incredible. A tiny baby in his very first minutes! It makes me want one too!

    Carmen, I didn’t have any issues. Tracy cleared it with her doctor first. When I got there they had already written my name on the board as one of the people allowed in the room. The only thing I had to be careful of was not to use a flash as it redirects the fancy spot lighting they use for the actual delivery and exams.

    He looks big in that photo, for a newborn that is. Everyone said he was a big baby but compared to Lachlan he seemed small to me. Oh I am so excited to see the whole shabang, you have no idea.
