Baby Jacob’s Birth

  • July 5, 2010 5:19 pm

Yesterday in the wee hours of the morning I had the pleasure of photographing the incredible birth of baby Jacob.

His mommy Melissa was attempting a VBAC delivery (vaginal birth after c-section) and it was looking for a while like it was going to end in a repeat cesarean due to many hours of not progressing past 4cm, putting the risk for uterine rupture higher. However, just when it got down to the wire, things started progressing well – and little Jacob made it into the world without surgical intervention! So proud of Melissa who was a champ, her Mom and her husband Omar who supported her all the way. Special thanks to the family of Melissa and Omar who accepted me into their family for the long haul!

So, without further ado, allow me to present to you the story of Baby Jacob – born on Independence Day and from what I understand he is quite the little firecracker ;)

Since the little man was born in Independence Day, I thought it appropriate to include some photos of the fireworks show from the day he was born.

Kids say the darndest things… at a photoshoot!

I thought I would start a category posting some of the funny little moments I have heard from kids over the course of my photography career. If there is one thing children and babies are good at above all things, it’s making you laugh!

When I asked a little girl whether she loved the pretty dress she was wearing (as this kind of question almost always invokes a sweet, girly expression and pose from little girls, terrific photo op!) she replied quite matter of factly,

“Yes, I do, I love my new dress soooo much. I’m so happy I’m a princess. But Daddy says that Mommy spent toooooo much money on it just for one day of pictures.” ;-D

Another one was from the little girl in the previous post “Dimples” – Kaelyn is very full of her own little personality. When I was doing her portraits, she started striking.. well, slightly cheesy ultra-girly poses, like the second one in the post. She said to me as she was striking a pose,

“Mommy doesn’t like it when I do this for pictures, but I think it’s VERY cute.” Of course, I snapped away!

Hope you enjoyed, more to come! :)

Dimples, just for fun.

A few weeks back I took a few snaps of Kaelyn, the daughter of a friend of mine while I was watching her and her brother Jude for the evening.  I lost too much evening light before I could grab a few of Jude but managed to get a cute little silhouette of the two of them.

They have now moved off to the east coast as of last week, and will be greatly missed.

I had the honour of photographing this beautiful family for their maternity photos yesterday.  They were so sweet and I had a lot of fun at one of my favourite locations here in Santa Clarita.  Their little boy Nicholas was so good and fun to work with!   She is due to give birth within the next few weeks, where I will be capturing the event.  Stay tuned :)

Here is a sneak peak from the session.  Enjoy!
