The Johnson Family ~ {Leiper’s Fork TN Family Photographer}

Leiper’s Fork TN Family Photographer

It was a blissful autumn day to spend outside. <3 The Johnson family was SUCH a pleasure to work with! We spent the “Golden Hour” (just before sunset) out in the woods on the family’s private property in Leiper’s Fork, just outside Franklin, Tennessee near Nashville. It was a PERFECT location for their casual, family-centered photo session. (And of course the dogs and cats wanted to tag along!)

The Birth of Baby L – Homebirth Waterbirth Photographer, Nashville Tennessee

The Birth of Diana – Homebirth Waterbirth Photographer , Nashville Tennessee

Homebirth is amazing. Well, ALL births are a miracle… but there is just “something” about homebirths that is just so warm and cozy and comfortable. Maybe it’s because mama and daddy are in their own personal comfort zone. Maybe it’s because when labor starts, they don’t have to pack up the car or the hospital bag. Maybe it’s because their birth support team comes to THEM, instead of the other way around. I don’t know for sure… but there is something special about homebirthing.

As the preferred birth story photographer in Nashville, I was on call for a homebirth / waterbirth. I had met with this mama and daddy, along with their adorable toddler, during a number of pre-birth consults, just like I do with all of my clients.

Nashville Family Photography ~ The “B” Family ~ Koreshan State Historical Site, Estero

It was SUCH a pleasure to capture the holiday memories of such a wonderful family! They traveled down to the Fort Myers, FL area from their home in Bradenton (near Sarasota, FL) to come and have this rustic holiday session. We enjoyed spending the afternoon together at the Koreshan State Historic Site in Estero, FL…the grounds and buildings of this park are phenomenal and it is a client favorite!

These two girls are just sooooo adorable; their beautiful Christmas dresses were a perfect match for the rustic, classy feel that this family was in search of. And the smiles on the girls’ faces were just SO pure and blissful. Mama and Dad are two people whom I love to capture…they are truly in love and it SHOWS!! (plus Mama is just stunning!!) Take a peek at the memories we captured on this beautiful winter day in southwest Florida!

Fayetteville NC Engagement Photographer ~ Katie & Matt: Engaged! ~ Charlotte, North Carolina Weddings

Fayetteville NC Engagement Photographer

It was a beautiful day in the backwoods of North Carolina…in Albemarle, Polkton, Wadesboro, and Peachland, to be exact. We kind of traveled a bit for this session! North Carolina is so beautiful; it was difficult to narrow down the locations!

The first place the bride and groom chose was the grounds of Main Street United Methodist Church in Albemarle. It is an absolutely GORGEOUS church, and has the most charming entries, and so many little nooks and hideaways! I fell in love as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. It is so cool that Katie and Matt are getting married at this church… especially because Matt’s dad is the pastor there! Such a tight-knit family… I love it. :)

There is just nothing sweeter than true love.

The Birth of Charlie – Nashville Birth Photographer

Shay Bunch Photography

The Birth of Charlie – Nashville Birth Photographer

Let me just start with this: Hypnobirthing ROCKS! :) As the preferred Nashville birth photographer, I was on-call…

…for a client’s waterbirth at one of the birth centers actually in Cape Coral, FL…and the evening began with a text message from my birth client, which said something along the lines of, “I’m having contractions, but I’m just not sure if this is “it” or not…stay tuned!”

This beautiful mama had planned her baby’s birth so very well…she had her support team in place; her birth plan all set; hypnobirthing education; you name it. She and her husband chose Baby Love Birth Center as the place where they would like to bring their little one earthside. (Baby Love and the staff there are absolutely fantastic, by the way! Go check out their website…after you’re done reading this post.) So, with me being on-call, I already had my birth photography gear charged, loaded, and ready to roll at a moment’s notice. And THANK GOODNESS I did! (You’ll find out why in a minute…)

Fort Myers Birth Photography, Cape Coral Birth Photographer

 The hours continued to pass, with an update from mama every now and then. No change; her labor was continuing, and since she had prepared herself SO well with her hypnobirthing techniques, mama was able to remain calm and work with her body through each contraction as it came. Finally, another text came through, with much more urgency this time:

“We’re heading to the birth center!”

Fort Myers Birth Photographer, Cape Coral Birth Photography

I quickly texted back, “I’ll meet you there! You’re doing great, mama! You can do this!” and I hopped into my already-packed car and took off for the birth center. I pulled into the parking lot. There was no one there. The lights were off; no cars screeching into the parking lot (like my husband would be if I were in labor); no signs of an impending birth whatsoever. So I got out my camera and stood outside my car in the parking lot, thinking that I would need to be ready to start shooting when they pulled into the lot (you just never know!).

Cape Coral Florida Birth Photographer

Nothing was happening. Then…my phone chirped. New text message! I quickly flipped it open and saw the latest update: “Actually we’re going to Gulf Coast Hospital”.

Well, at this stage of the game, that can only mean one thing: BABY ON THE WAY!

Which is a WONDERFUL thing!! I knew the general route mama would be coming, so I knew that if they were going to Gulf Coast instead, after all of the waterbirth plans and natural midwifery care…then that pretty much means baby isn’t going to wait until they get to the birth center to make his debut! So exciting!!! It was almost time!! :) However, there was one slight hiccup…I was standing in the parking lot of Baby Love Birth Center…and Gulf Coast Hospital was a solid 20-25 minutes away. So back into my car I hopped, making my way as quickly as possible (while obeying all traffic safety laws of course). I pulled into the hospital parking lot, found the entrance for “Women’s Care”, grabbed my gear, and literally ran inside. I knew this was going to be a close birth, IF I even made it on time.

Cape Coral Florida Birth Photographer

Ran in and eventually found (by the grace of God, a lone gentleman walked into the lobby and pointed me in the right direction…thank you, kind sir!!!) the place I was supposed to be, and went to the nurses’ station. Told them who I was, and the nurse waved me over to a curtained room in triage. And the next image is what I saw when I walked into that room…

Cape Coral Florida Birth Photographer

I just ADORE the sheer bliss on mama’s face!!!!!!!!

At the end of the day, little Mr. Charlie simply had his own agenda, and he was in a bit of a hurry…and that’s TOTALLY okay! :) I ended up missing his grand entrance, but as you can see, we DID manage to capture some beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime memories for this amazing family of five.
