I had the honor of photographing a 2nd birth (only a few weeks after the 1st) and this time it was my precious nephew!  Christina’s water broke at 2am, contractions started shortly after… so I raced to find people to watch my twins (husband worked yesterday) and then raced to Austin… to wait… and wait… and wait.  The sweet little boy was very content where he was and took his time coming out (finally around 10:20 last night)… but it was well worth the wait.

His mama was a CHAMP– not one complaint– took every order the nurse or doctor gave her with almost a smile…. and produced a magnificent 8lb 2oz little boy.  Congrats Jeremy & Christina— and thank you for wanting me there!  :)  By the way— Jeremy was so sweet and supportive the entire process (as you’ll be able to see from the pictures).  I could tell he wanted to take on her pain so she wouldn’t have to suffer… so sweet.  Newborn session scheduled for next weekend… so back to “Austin” we will go!  Here is some of what I captured….

PS… for any photogs wondering:  2.8 f-stop, 1100 ISO… no flash!

ENJOY:

First glance at her son…Such a proud daddy…Healthy as can be….Jeremy’s voice made him so calm…… and so did holding on to his finger….

Are you my Mommy?….
First family shot…Such an amazing feeling… the love you can feel for your baby right after you meet him:
