Erica’s labor was quick.  By the time she called me, she’d already had her epidural, and an hour after I arrived she was already 8cm.  Shortly after it is was time to start pushing.  I thought for sure this little girl would be a July baby.  Unfortunately, little Brooke was quite comfortable in her home and took her time coming out.  (Holy 3 hours of pushing!)

My favorite part of the entire experience though, was watching their families.  Everyone, and I mean everyone, showed up at the hospital and waiting in a tiny room in the middle of the night to get a sneak peek at their Granddaughter/Neice. What an amazing support system in this family.

Erica and Dave are graciously letting me share Brooke’s birth with all of you and I am so greatful! I hope you enjoy it.

I truly truly love what I do.  I am allowed to capture things and people that would normally go undocumented.  I can experience and then share wonderful experiences.  Thank you B family for letting me document your miracle.  Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.

And just for fun, here is a little peek at what’s to come.
