…: 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

The only thing better than my saying “hey, can we do some of JUST you guys?” is “hey Erin, can we have some of *just us*?”

//but have you ever seen such beauty?//

The thing about first daughters…they’re a mirror of all our own beauty and imperfection. The chance to see the ripple and change it. Even if it hurts.

Lately I’ve had a string of kiddos who just wanted to ham it up. It’s my fave.
