Brianna has the opportunity in participating in a pageant this year. Her mother contacted me to put a portfolio together for her. Of course I said YES because, well, I love these sort of shoots. It's so fun to see the different array of outfits chosen. Much like senior portraits, there are a variety of outfits to be photographed in. Always exciting to see what outfit is next!

Good luck Brianna! I know you will be awesome and you will go very far with this! You are a pretty girl with a great personality :) It was a pleasure working with you. I hope you enjoy your preview!

I have photographed these siblings since they were babies. Actually, Ella's birth was the very first birth I had the opportunity of photographing. What a real treat it is to photograph them as they grow! TJ is little friends with my boys. Looking forward to hopefully many more years with these kids!

The indoor photos were taken on the 3rd floor of Shops on the Square in downtown Auburn. LOVE that place. Great natural lighting. They are always so good to let me use the space as needed :)

Nya's Birth Story: Auburn, IN Birth Photography

Nya's Birth Story

Dekalb Hospital

Auburn, IN

This was by far the longest birth I have ever witnessed (other than my own 2 births!)

Erica texted me early Sunday morning letting me know that her water had broke and she was at the hospital.  I told her to keep me updated and let me know when she was about 3 cm dilated so I could make arrangements to get to the hospital in time.

A few hours went by. I decided to take my camera to church just in case she called me and I needed to run by the hospital afterwards. Since we go to church near Dekalb I thought it would be convenient. But, I never heard from her. I kind of got a little worried. SURELY she would have progressed by now. So I text her. Still, nothing. She wasn't even 3 cm dilated yet.

So I decided to be patient and head home. I fed my boys, laid them down for a nap and got ready to go. Still, no word.

Spent the majority of the day by the phone...waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Still, no word.

By this point I was getting anxious and I'm sure Erica and David were getting more anxious than me! As being their first, I'm sure many thoughts were going through their head. 

It was about 11pm and after waiting by the phone all day I decided I had better go to bed. Well, just my luck I got a text from Erica's friend telling me that she was dilated enough for me to come in....at 1am :) So I made my way to the hospital, expecting for her to deliver soon....

I ended up spending the night in the hospital on the couch. My husband was right. Those ARE uncomfortable! And here I thought he was just being a baby!

But, it was all worth it in the end! At noon on the dot Miss Nya made her appearance into the world!! 

She was as healthy and as beautiful as could be!

Congrats Erica and David. May you treasure this little blessing God has given you. They grow up fast!! Take in every minute with her <3
