Announcing sweet baby Claire



Early this morning, after falling asleep on the sofa watching tv with Nate, I awoke at 2 a.m. to find a voicemail saying that Melody was dilated to a 6 and things were moving fast! I wiped the sleep from my eyes, and convinced my body to abandon it's coma like state. Resisting the urge to fall into my enticing bed, I gathered my camera equipment and headed to the hospital. I knew that this was an opportunity that couldn't be passed up.

Mel and I met almost a year ago at a photography workshop, but it feels like we've been friends forever. She's one of the sweetest, most sincere, loving, people I know! I am so very thankful to know her and blessed to call her friend. It was such an honor for me to capture one of the most special days in her life, the birth of their baby girl Claire! Words can't express how touching it is to watch this miracle take place! It's times like this that remind me of just how real God is and how awesome he is! During the delivery, the doctor looked at me and said, "You're a professional!" If I would've been quicker on my toes I would've responded, " Yes, but today I'm just a friend capturing another friend's miracle."

Congratulations Carp and Mel (and Gabe too!). We love you guys and are so very thankful for you!


Just a few for now..........
