miracle – birth photography
Birth is the greatest miracle. Plain and simple, it just is. I have traveled and I have seen and photographed so many things, but nothing compares to photographing a birth.
When J&K asked me to photograph their daughter’s birth I was ecstatic; I wanted to jump up and down with excitement. I’m pretty high energy to start with…so I bet you can imagine how I would have been bouncing off of the walls if it had been appropriate. If I had chosen any other career path in life I would undoubtedly have been an L&D nurse. As Dustin put it, being a photographer I have the best of both worlds; I get to be creative, witness this miracle and I don’t have to get dirty.
It is the greatest miracle I have personally experienced and now witnessed. The strength of her mommy, her first breaths, her first cries…like I said, I witnessed a miracle.
Special thanks to Dr. Laura Davidson and the nurses and staff at Tomball Regional Medical Center. K&J – thank you, thank you, thank you!
So…the answer to the question “will you do it again?” is yes, in a heart beat. If you would like information regarding birth photography please email or call me any time, I’d love to hear from you!

Wow, words can’t express how awesome this is! It makes me replay the birth of my own daugther in my head over and over. This is something that the family will hold close to their hearts and treasure for a lifetime, how amazing for little Claire to have this to look back at years from now. Simply amazing! Great job!
