…: Meet Presley :… Portland Oregon Birth photographers

June 13, 2011 6 Comments

So, a bit of why there’s not a lot of   “leading up to”  photos in this little ol’ birth blog.  Here is a brief synopsis for my readers.

Mama and I are texting the night before, after she’s just arrived at the hospital. Conversation goes something like this, at about 10PM before B-day:

K: I’m not sure whether my water will break tonight or tomorrow, but I will keep you updated!

Me:  Great, I’m excited!

K: Everything’s going really slow, Jimmy says take a nap.

Me: Call me at a 5!

{insert me sleeping here}

4:58AM  my phone buzzes with a text.  Husband says: Water broke, at a 4.

Here, I’m thinking to myself…”Oh, I have some time, I’ll linger in bed a bit, have some coffee…”

I am just contemplating actually getting out of bed when my phone buzzes again.

5:18AM: she’s at a 6 now

I get ready, grab my gear, and I still think, I’ll stop and get some coffee. I turn to pull into a stand and I hear my phone again, it’s 5:46: “she’s at an 8”.
Needless to say, by the time I got to the hospital, the beautiful Miss Presley was very, very close to entering the world. I was about 6 minutes from missing the whole enchilada.

Next time, I’ll keep coffee in my car…



Birth, Photography

My favorite little Birdie 🐦 
Gummy smiles? Or smiles with fresh little hippo-teefs? It’s a hard choice y’all 😂

Today at the doctors’ office waiting room I sat next to a baby with my teenager and she whispered “ugh I know you only sat here to look at the baby.” SO WHAT.

The “cuddle puddle” family shots are always favorites of mine…they are the warmest, truest reminders of how children fit in your arms and they always make me smile ⛅️
