Baby Dean's Birth Story Sneak Peek... red bluff, ca. newborn birth photographer




What can I say about this birth story? It was a challenge. There were lots of twists and turns. But, then again, what birth isn't that way? This had to be one of the most strict hospitals I have ever attempted to work with. However, when all was said and done...I GOT MY SHOTS ANYWAY, LOL! There's no stopping this lady!

Luckily I had very helpful clients who had very helpful family members who advocated, insisted and literally took on my camera when I wasn't allowed in. After shooting at this hospital, I think I could work anywhere. It was a great learning experience, professionally! I just wanted to take a minute to thank my clients and friends Katie (mommy) & Ryan (daddy) for having me and advocating so hard to have me present. I would also like to say thanks to Ryan, Stacy and Sarah (Katie's sisters) for grabbing the camera when I needed you too. I appreciate the team effort, LOL!

For those of you that don't know me, Katie is my best friend of 10 years. We met way back in our twenties when we worked at a restaurant as waitresses. Oddly enough, we had gone to high school together and had even hung out with the same people, but had never met. We often joke that it was probably better we didn't know each other in high school. Otherwise, we would have gotten in A LOT of trouble together.

She has been present at every single one of my births and now I have been to, and documented, both of hers. As a matter of fact, one of the very first jobs I ever used my camera for was to document the birth of her first son, Ryker. Here are some of my favorite shots from the birth that I took that day.



My work since then has greatly improved (phew, lol). I was using auto, a kit lens and a basic editing software here. But when all is said and done, I cherish this work. I made what I had work and I love these pictures. I suppose one of these days I may post this birth story on the blog.

Anyway, enough about that! Lets get back to why we are here...Baby Dean's birth story sneak peak!!





















What else can I can say about this family? I love them tremendously. Thank you so much for choosing me to not only document your lives but for being the best friends in the world!

XOXO,
Jen
