Lindsey and I became friends about a year ago when she emailed me and asked to join my small group. We live in the same town, turns out, she is a photographer, too! We bonded over photography and our weird and mostly awkard sense of humor. She found out she was expecting and asked me to shoot some photos of her birth….and of course I said yes! Fast forward to her due date…umm, no baby. So, we went walking a few times trying to get him started doing SOMETHING! Well, on a Sunday morning she messaged me and told me she was having contractions 10 or so minutes apart and she thought it was it. We talked throughout the day and no progression past those 8-10 minute intervals. So, I kept my phone close, but aside from waking up about 20 times that night to ask how she was (still in labor and pretty painful but still not progressing) nothing. They decided to go to the hospital and so I had my sitter come over and was just about to leave when she said not to come…still hadn’t progressed 🙁 so we waited. She continued the same thing until Tuesday morning (in a lot of pain!) when she got her epidural and told me to wait until she got checked again. Well, of course, around 10 something she was like “Umm…I’m at 9” So I RAN out of the house immediately and rushed to the hospital like a crazy person listening to Christmas music trying to distract myself. Made it there in time luckily! She had him at 12:50 and it was gorgeous!!! Such a beautiful day (maybe not so much the days before) and I was soooo happy to be a part of it! Thank you Lindsey and Jon for letting me photograph your day!! Here are a few of my favorites:
