Donald and Nicole's Birth Story

Donald and Nicole, along with big sisters Lillian and Lydia, have welcomed sweet baby boy Landon into this beautiful world. Nicole went in for her c-section and came out with a perfect little boy! Here are photos from their birth and the day after session in Kirkwood, MO.

This is the cover to his slideshow:

The doctors performing the surgery...Landon is almost here!

Donald's first touch.

Favorite perspective picture of the day.

Day After Session...

Lillian was so excited about her little brother.

Feet! I truly think infants have the sweetest feet!

All three kids feets.

Congrats Donald, Nicole, Lillian, and Lydia. And welcome Landon!

Welcome Baby Addison

Baby Addison has entered the world! Congratulations to the pround parents, Howard and Holly. (And to the proud aunts, uncles, and grandparents!) Addison is a beautiful and healthy baby girl! Here are some pictures from the birth and day-after session. There will be more to come after the two week sessions...until then, enjoy the very sweet Baby Addison!

Progress West looks beautiful on this early morning.

Holly did an amazing job, but little Addison was just not going to come any other way than a c-section. (I really don't think her epidural was working at ALL!!! She was such a trooper!)

Welcome Addison...

Howard was a great labor coach, but I think this proves he is also going to be an even better dad!

She just looks like a little pea-pod.

Congrats Howard and Holly!

As promised, more pictures of Caroline!

Here are some of my favs of Katy's birth and Caroline's Day After Session.:

Bruce's reaction to Caroline is priceless! He was the MOST excited dad I have had the pleasure of photographing.

Katy's first glances of Caroline.

I love this picture because of the perspective!

Dad's first touch.


(Nothing need be said...)

Caroline likes being in her daddy's arms.

Katy and Bruce, CONGRATS! Your daughter is beautiful and healthy...what a blessing!

Birth Story Teaser

Please join in welcoming little Miss Caroline. She was born last Friday evening to proud parents Katy and Bruce.

This is just a teaser...one pictures...I know, mean, right??!?!!? I try to get all my birth story package clients their DVDs within ONE WEEKS of the day after shoot, so I am busy editing but will post more pictures after I am done.

Baby Grayson!!!

Holly gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! (The funny thing is that Andrew was born on Super Bowl Sunday, too. I guess the phrase "like father, like son" really is true! WINK!) Here are some pictures from their birth.

Andrew helping Holly not think about the pain by reading The Bible.


This is for Andew...he loves computer stuff.


Contractions are getting harder...and closer...


Baby Grayson has entered the world!

Baby Robert Chadwick Mueller

I had the honor of photographing Annie as she gave birth to her first son, Robert Chadwick Mueller, on Monday, November 19th, 2007. It was an amazing experience! Joe was a great coach and Annie did incredible. (Did I mention that Robert was 9lbs. and 9 oz. and she had NO drugs...yes, she is amazing!) I was blessed to be a part of this intimate experience. Congrats to father Joe, mother Annie, and big sister Mara.

This is my favorite detail shot.

Weighing in: 9 lbs. 9 oz.-He's a keeper!

Being measured: 22 inches long

Joe's mom dressed Robert for the first time.

Welcome to bright new world, Robert!
