I am doing things a bit out of order here, I still have to blog about Jessie’s maternity session, which will come soon. The birth for now…
I am sure you all remember the preview of this session. “Amazing”, it was… The stars were aligned that night because when I got the text that she was in labor my husband just came home from work, I had empty memory cards and I lived only 10 minutes from the hospital she was headed to.
My adrenaline kicked in and I headed out the door. Seriously my heart was racing with excitement.
When I got there, she wasn’t quite ready for me yet… I waited about 15 minutes and then her mom gave me the okay to go in. It is a good thing I did because baby came about 5 minutes later. Yes, it was that quick.
Words can’t describe how amazing it was to see her strength. The emotion from each family member in that room as Baby J entered the world was pure joy and happiness. I have said over and over again what an honor it was to be there, but seriously it was such a special time and I am so happy to give these pictures to Jessie, so she will never forget each second of her AMAZING journey.
So now I give you the slide show of The Birth of Baby J. 
Hello and welcome to my blog!
I'm a lifestyle photographer based out of San Luis Obispo, CA. My home has some of the most amazing places to photograph, but that's not to say that I don't love to travel to new and EXCITING places. One of the greatest things about my profession is all the people I get to meet along the way.
I specialize in babies and children and I LOVE photographing weddings (who doesn't love a good love story). I'm always up for a challenge and will photograph just about anything that comes my way. Here on this blog you will find my latest work as well as bits of my own life. I am a mother to a beautiful little boy and wife to an amazing man. Life can be crazy, fun and a little wild. I take my camera to capture those moments.
Thanks for stopping by, be sure to leave a comment-I love comments!!

If you read my post last night you knew how honored I was to photograph the birth of Baby J. I know these pictures will be cherished for years to come. So many wonderful emotions were captured. Many pictures to come but for now just a few… ♥♥♥ 
I have just gotten home from a photo session that will always be special to me. I was asked by a friend to photograph her birth. I feel so blessed to have been there for her and document such precious memories. The strength of a woman is so amazing, and witnessing a new life enter the world is truly a gift.
Congrats to my friend and her family and thank you for inviting me in to such an amazing part of your lives. ♥♥♥
