Every time I get to photograph a birth I think “How did I get so lucky?”. I am so blessed that so many wonderful families have me join them and document this special time in their lives. Watching the miracle of life right before your eyes is the most amazing thing to witness. I have to admit I tear up every time.

Olivia’s birthday came a few weeks early. Her mom, Kelsi was supposed to go to her newborn care class that mooring and missed it due to going into labor. A few times while she was laboring she said to the nurses “I am so sorry I didn’t make it to my class”! It was too funny! Kelsi is such an amazing mom and she handled labor like a pro. She was so strong and brought her little girl into the world pretty fast. She was born with a head full of hair and the CUTEST dimples I have ever seen. I don’t think I have every seen dimples like that on a newborn. I am so excited to photograph her first year and watch her grow. Seriously one of the most adorable babies I have seen.

Up next I will be blogging her newborn session so keep your eyes peeled :)

Thanks Greg and Kelsi for choosing Portraits By Lucinda to capture your sweet babies birth!
