{ Welcome Baby Jackson }

What an amazing AMAZING thing to be a part of. To witness a new life enter this world is beyond beautiful. It’s moving. It’s a miracle. It’s inspiring. You watch the strength and determination in a mother. The force that they put behind each push. The pure love that pours out of their eyes, their mouth and chest as they see their baby for the first time. The compassion and support from the father. They would take that pain away if they could. They would push if they could. He locks his eyes on the top of the babies head as it peeks through. It’s his first glimpse at his future. A smile spills from his mouth...to his eyes...to his heart. He’s almost here. His family is growing. In that moment I stand behind my camera trying to capture every moment; dodging doctors, nurses, pediatricians, interns & the biggest obstacle…my own tears. Just praying I don’t miss THE shot. This is beautiful. THIS. Is. Beautiful. Thank you Ashley & Jason for letting me be there. It was truly a honor.

Jackson.  Born 2.8.12 at 7lbs 11oz and 20 inches long.
