Shortly before they became a family of four, there were just the three of them. I'm so glad we got to spend a little time documenting their lives together at that moment.

A lot. In spite of the 100+ degree heat that day, we managed to have a blast. Dad-to-be said, "I'll do anything you ask me to...I'll even stand on my head." Okay. You got it! Anxious to meet their baby girl next month...equally excited to see the "antique beach themed nursery."

I kid you not. She is so very beautiful and I seriously don't know how she does it. I'm on pins and needles waiting for THE phone call when we all get to meet those little babies.

His birth was so calm, so uncomplicated, so bittersweet. His family is about to leave me town :-( and it's going to be tough not to see him and his big sister grow up in person like this anymore. But I'm going to hang onto these moments and I can always say, "I've known you since before you were born..."

While I've photographed a few c-sections before, I've never actually photographed THE c-section until now. What an experience!!! Modern medicine is certainly something to marvel. I couldn't get over how *fast* it was...beginning to end. Wow! Quite amazing.

So here is the birth of Rowan, shared with permission from his mommy (Google Reader/RSS users...you'll want to click THIS link to view):
