For a little while I had the privilege of photographing the new babies in the hospital, only hours after they were born. This was fantastic and oh so challenging at the same time. Most of the time the new family had no clue I was coming and they were so tired, then there was this stranger in their room asking to take pictures! I've delivered two wonderful boys and know the exhaustion from that, it was hard being there sometimes. However, I got my baby fix. I prefer this much more... at home when I'm actually invited into the home to celebrate with the new little one and whatever family they want there. I got to travel to Portland, Oregon to do these images and LOVE them!
