Twin Cities Birth Photographer - Byron is finally here!

It's been so long since I wrote last - and no doubt you've forgotten all about me!  But in my defense, some very big things have been happening around here lately.  And most importantly...

Byron is finally here!




Byron Caleb was born at home on the 21st of March, at 9:42 in the morning.  The labor was excruciating, let me tell you (!!!!!) - but I'll spare you the details. :-)


The good news is that our little boy is healthy and strong and growing at a ferocious rate - he's grown 1/2 a lb a week since birth (destined to reach his 6'4" daddy, I'm sure). We are so happy and thankful to finally have him here with us, and I'm doubly thankful for my quick recovery - one certainly needs their strength when caring for 2 children under 3.  Especially when they almost never sleep when you want them to!

Before Byron's birth I had promised Maternity photos.  Unfortunately, I never got around to having official Maternity photos taken...


Okay, wait.  You guys deserve better than that.  So in the interest of full transparency, I will tell you -


I'm not one to get excited about my own pregnant photos.  It was in fact, very easy for me to put it off until the baby got here!



(Though in an effort to keep my promise, take a look at this image over here  ------->).

Now understand, its not that I hate looking at myself or anything silly like that - I just don't enjoy it very much. ;-)  My maternity photos would have to be ridiculously good for me to enjoy them.   And though I'm sure I could find a satisfactory photographer if i had tried (I do know some amazing photographers in the Twin Cities!)... it just wasn't as important to me as other things.  At least not this time.

...So what mattered most to me this time?

The Birth Photography. Of course.

Now why in the world would I want a birth photographer, when I wasn't even interested in a Maternity session?

I'll tell you the why's, how's (and even the who's!) - next post.
