Four months ago, I had the privilege of photographing my first birth.  I have two beautiful children, so this wasn't my first time in a delivery room.  I was in complete and utter AWE of Gina, as she labored with control, determination, and no pain medication.  It was beautiful to watch Gina receive such devoted support from her husband and mother.  They made a perfect birth team!  I was able to soak in the miracle from a different perspective this time...one that didn't include feeling contractions, birth hormone surges, or exhaustion.  The moment sweet Chael entered this world was a rush of indescribable wonderment.  THANK YOU Gina, Cliff & Chael for allowing me to capture your intimate firsts as a family.  Unforgettable.
