As a birth photographer, I know how important it is to go with the flow. From the moment a client calls me, I have to find the perfect balance of running around like a chicken with my head cut off (making sure my kids are taken care of and gathering everything I might need) and relaxing into a zen-like mama bear state ready to bring calm and confidence to my client and her family. I have no way of knowing if I'll be back home in 4 hours or 40 hours. Labor might be a frantic whirlwind of excitement or a long, drawn out process.
Surely you have waited in anticipation for both types of situations to resolve into a beautiful bundle of joy. You stalk Facebook pages, bite your fingernails to keep from texting the laboring mommy, call other family members to see if they have possibly attained a higher level of privilege to details...you just cannot WAIT for an UPDATE! Your heart is tied in knots wondering how mama is doing and if she is already snuggling with that sweet smelling baby.
SOMEBODY SEND ME A PICTURE NOW!!!
Well, guess what. I'm going to send you a picture. Assuming things aren't moving too quickly, I hope to send unedited images along with brief updates of my birth clients. Assuming you aren't sound asleep or too busy with life, you are going to get the opportunity to take an active part as a once in a lifetime birth story unfolds.
Your first opportunity to join in on this journey is so close to happening! Tia is waiting patiently for labor to start on its own, but she is ready to meet her newest little guy. Her due date is just around the corner on February 18th. Will she have a Valentine's Day baby or will her little love hold out an extra week? Check back here and I will do my best to give you frequent updates and image teasers. After Tia's baby arrives, I will work my tail off to quickly bring you the high quality images you have come to expect from Little Leapling Photography. If you haven't already done so, follow me on my Facebook page so you don't miss the notification that the fun as begun!
