Mama’s Pride and Joy

Welcome baby Blake!  He is an Easter baby, born March 31, 2013.  He is one day old here. I was able to capture this sweet shot of him, with his proud mama looking on.

I had taken a bunch of typical photos during out short visit and had packed up my camera to leave.  The nurse had come and did her nurse stuff – checking whatever they check – and placed him in the neonatal bed.  As I walked by, headed for the door, this view caught my eye and I thought it would make a great image. So, I quickly unpacked my camera and snapped a couple – this being the last one.  It is my favorite of all I took.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for these parents. You can’t duplicate this a week later. It’s a good example of why you should call a professional photographer when the moment really matters.  The cost of a professional is minuscule when you consider the priceless memories you will have captured forever.
