This blog post is a long time coming. I have wanted to capture a birth for a soooooo long now. When my sister told us last fall that she was expecting her 3rd baby I couldn’t have been more thrilled! Not only to have a sweet newborn in the family, but because I knew I’d finally get my chance. Uh oh, there was one issue…..we were to be flying to Mexico 2 days before the due date for my brother’s wedding!!! As the days grew near, all I kept thinking was that the baby would come while I was gone. Luckily my sister wanted this captured as badly as I did so she did everything in her power and tried ever old wives tale (including 3 rounds of acupuncture) to convince the baby to make an early arrival. I was literally shaking with excitement when I finally got the call “I think my water just broke!!!” 4 days before we were to hop on the plane. Yeah!!!!!
I just have to say that words, not even the images can describe how truly amazing it was to be there to witness the birth of my niece Emry, as well as the love between my sister (Tamara) and Jeff. I could go on and on trying to tell you, but for now I’ll just let you watch and hopefully I’ve captured this in a way to at least show a little bit of the emotion filled, miraculous day.
The show is set to music so make sure you turn up your speakers.
WARNING 
There are some shots that do show more than you might be expecting to see. ahem hahaha. Honestly though, I must admit that the doctors arms and bodies were quite strategically placed to allow for viewing without seeing too many details. lol There are only about 4 shots of the whole show and the images are small enough that you really don’t see anything….at least to me lol. So there, you’ve had your warning, but please do watch.
Comments below are also more than welcome. I’d love to hear what you think!
