Rory’s birth was everything that his mother hoped for. MacKenzie and I talked last June at her pregnancy announcement session about her previous labor, and how she really hoped to have a natural labor with a midwife for this baby. I can relate so deeply to moms who have struggled with a labor not being what they hoped, and working toward a redeeming, positive birth for their second baby. One that empowers mom, and brings forth baby in a gentle way. Rory’s birth was indeed what she dreamed of.
Mackenzie called me in the early evening, just to let me know things were moving along. She had been working with her midwife that day, taking an herbal supplement to encourage her body to begin labor. As I began to make morning arrangements for my own children, she texted again, this time sounding a little more serious. However, when I called, she was certain this baby was not coming “until daylight tomorrow.” Just listening to her for a few moments, my instinct said that things may move more quickly than she imagined, and that she could go have a rest and wake with too little time for me to make the thirty-minute drive. When MacKenzie offered up her couch for the night, I decide to go get comfortable with them.
As suspected, we both had a short nap, and she woke up with more signs of cervical change and labor progression. Keith returned from checking on their pups, we called the midwife to update, and we took another {shorter} nap. This time I woke up to hear MacKenzie in the bathroom. She still thought things were moving slowly. When the midwife heard that mom was sitting on the toilet though, she knew it time to come check on the laboring mother.
MacKenzie said that this part of labor surprised her, because she felt so calm and serene in the bathroom. It was her calm before the storm. She knew the real work was to come, but felt so peaceful in these moments. Sarah, her midwife, checked on baby and mom, and then we both stepped back to just let MacKenzie be meditative.
Eventually, MacKenzie started to feel a few mild urges to push. This is when she decided to move to the tub and prepare for Rory’s arrival. Keith, who had been trying to put big-brother Orion back to bed, returned to the room with him. Orion smiled and said, “Momma push.” He’d been practicing his support role this whole pregnancy.
MacKenzie followed her instincts through the pushing stage, while Keith and Sarah cooled her with a cold wash cloth. Before long, Rory was born into his mother’s hands. She did such a beautiful job, and Rory’s birth filled the room with love.

Kailani was one of two little girls who helped me with a test run day of “newborn mini-sessions.” Not quite as short as my seasonal studio mini-sessions, these newborn portrait sessions are 1 ½ hours long and feature just your baby. This is a short and sweet option for families who do not need sibling and parent poses. For newborn mini-sessions, I keep baby wrapped for most of the session to make the most of our brief studio time. These shorter sessions may not be a regular offering, so if this is something that you’re interested in, get right on it.
I chose some Spring colors for Kailani’s session, and colors that parents don’t often choose for little girls: baby blue, peach, and neutrals. Just about every girl-mom that walks in my door requests pink. Kailani’s mother LOVED these alternative color choices. In fact, she arrived in a baby blue sleeper. The soft blue made Kailani’s eyes pop brilliantly, and the peach textures highlighted her strawberry-blonde hair. She was such a gorgeous baby, and this color pallet showcased her beauty perfectly.

I love your color combinations, especially the teal and blues. On a girl, it is my absolute favorite! I also like the idea of newborn mini sessions – great option for parents!

Perfect colors for this sweet little lady and that hair!! And newborn mini photo sessions are a great idea!! Amazing pictures!
As the new year began, I decided that I wanted to do a test run of newborn mini-sessions. Rather than the full three-hour newborn session I traditionally offer, these are one-hour sessions with just the sweet baby. I was actually able to work in quite a few poses with each baby that day. Miss Kynleigh looked beautiful in the colors I had set out for her. After a marathon of pink in November and December, I though some Spring-time yellow and plum purple would be fun. Her beautiful hair and olivey skin tone photographed so beautifully. What a sweet, little girl.

Oh, I missed these little fellas! I was recently able to travel back to Eagle River, Alaska for holiday sessions and a couple of newborns, and my sweet neighbors took me back in. I enjoyed getting to snuggle with these guys, hike with their momma, and watch the northern lights. This winter glow is another thing I have missed. The boys and I were able to take a few winter portraits while I was there.
