Welcome to the world!

I had the most incredible oppurtunity yesterday. I got to help document a home birth that ended up being a water birth. There are no real words to describe so I'm not going to even try. I want to be very careful and protect the families privacy, but had to at least post a few of the precious baby! After 13+hours of labor, he decided to come into the world, with all his 8lbs, 7ounces of complete health! Let the pics speak for themselves...

Well may the Anderson family from the North be the first to say WOW! and how wonderful the pictures are! Thank you so much for documenting such a momentous occasion for us who could not be there. The B/W is a stunning effect on these pictures that so beautifully capture such a special day. Your artistic eye and camera lens have given us such a gift!
