First Glimpse of Avi – Birth

A “First Glimpse” session takes place within 48 hours of birth, at the hospital, birth center or home (if that is where your birth took place). It is done during business hours and is customized to fit the needs of the couple that may not want a photographer at the whole birth, for whatever reason. A great way to still capture those great first impressions of baby with mom, dad, siblings, as well as fun moments like making footprints and giving baby the first bath! Here’s a few images from my “First Glimpse” session on Wednesday with cute little Avi North:

    Lei these are beautiful I nearly cried! It’s such an amazing time in life, to have it captured so well will be so priceless! I took pictures today of a preemie just 2 days old. She is 2 lbs. It was so crazy. I felt very nervous as I’ve never done anything like that. If anything it was just humbling to think about how miraculous God is. To see that tiny thing alive, and well and functioning. Amazing.ReplyCancel
