This shoot was a first for me. The first time I’ve got to photograph a newborn on the day he was born, literally hours after he arrived. I much say it was an awesome experience. If you follow the blog you will recognize Beth, Jared and Landen from previous shoots during Landen’s first year. When Beth told me baby #2 was on the way and she wanted me to come to the hospital when he was born to do photos I was super excited. As time got closer they decided to induce so I waited anxiously to get the call saying the little guy was here….. I kept joking that I was “on call” for the day.

Sure enough he arrived around 2:30 – Brendan Timothy Krawczyk 7 lbs and 4 ozs

Even over the phone Beth sounded fantastic for having just given birth. When I got to the hospital just hours later I couldn’t believe she had had a baby just hours before . Beth, seriously you should be the poster mom for births! Although if everyone was in that good of shape afterwards there may be a lot more babies being born!

Congratulations to Beth and Jared! Thanks again for allowing me to capture such a special day with your family.
