Kyler's Birth Story

Has it really been over a year since I have posted?

Yeap!

I never knew adding another sweet babe to my own little family would keep me so busy...
naturally some things had to be moved to the back burner and apparently my blogging was one of them. Sorry.

I thought what better way to dust off the old blog than with a birth story.

Last month I had the honor of documenting a precious baby boy's debut.
Each time I do one of these birth stories it amazes me what we as women can do.
Kyler's mama was tough through over 12 hours of labor, it was a long day.
And she continued to look fabulous the whole time! 
When Kyler arrived he was so perfect!
 Best part was when he wrapped his tiny fingers around mama's finger just seconds after he arrived.
Totally tugged at this mama's heart strings.
Makes all the waiting worth it.

I felt so privileged to be there capturing the babe's first moments of life.
I asked her if she wouldn't mind if I shared sweet baby Kyler's birth story,
so glad she said yes.

Here is the little video I made for her documenting her babe's birthday.
I also added a few of my favorite images below.
Believe me I could have posted 100, but figured the video did that.
(the video doesn't do the images justice.)

Here is Kyler's Birth Story....

Selah's Newborn Portraits

Look at beautiful Selah (pronounced say-luh) - love it!
She is such a little sweetheart and has the most perfect pouty lips.
We had a few rough spots during her session were she wasn't happy,
but once we laid her down on her side she was content and slept so sweetly.

Here is her little preview:

Eric's Newborn Portraits

Adorable little Eric was such a sweetheart for his session.
He even gave us a few tiny smirks. He saved his big smiles for when I put my camera down.
A lot of the session he was bright eyed but we managed to get him asleep a few times.
Eric is lucky to have two wonderful parents I enjoyed working with.
I love watching first time parents snuggle their precious new baby.
He is a very loved little boy. 

Here is his precious preview:

Christiansen Family Portraints

The Christiansen Family was a joy to photograph.
We snuck in their session just before the weather turned and all the beautiful leaves dropped.
I am glad we did because we had some beautiful background colors.
And I do have to say their kiddos are wonderful, adorable, and they behaved so well during the session.

Here is their preview:

Konzek Family Portraits

Love, Love, LOVE, this adorable little family.
They are so fun to work with and so sweet.
Their poor little boy didn't really want his picture taken but we managed to sneak in a few smiles.
Such cute kiddos but they need to stop growing up so fast!

Here is their preview:

Jordan and Lindsey - Manti Temple Sealing

I had so much fun with Jordan (who happens to be my brother-in-law) and Linsdey (his beautiful wife).
What a wonderful opportunity it was to capture such a special day for them. And it was a beautiful day!
They were sealed for time and all eternity in the beautiful LDS Manti Temple a few weeks ago.
Where they had lots of support from friends and family who helped them celebrate.

I have tons of images to share so I will let them speak for themselves...
