Birth Photography

In my last post, I mentioned that I won a package for a birth photographer, and Im really excited about it, so I thought I'd share a little more about what it is. Basically, we will have a photographer in with us during the labor and delivery photographing the whole process. While I realize it might sound strange to a lot of people (Brandon included) I am really excited about it. She (the photographer) will pretty much just stand at my head during the delivery and then move with baby during his first moments while the nurses do the apgar tests, measurements, and foot prints. She will capture his first cry, our first time holding him, and then she will hang around for a few hours and get pictures of Noah and Eli meeting their new brother, and our first visitors meeting him. She said she will do as much or as little as we are comfortable with, so we asked that she not photograph anything I wouldn't want to share with our family and friends (so we are keeping this G rated). When I first won, I was worried I would chicken out, but the closer we get the more excited I am! The best part is that Brandon will actually get to focus all of his attention on Isaiah instead of listening to me yell at him to keep taking pictures :)
