We know the Broom's from church.  So their session was extra fun, as I was working with friends!

We started by taking some shots of Kellie with her Mustang, Sally.

This birth had so many awesome parts to it...

-Great early morning light

-Coincidental spring colors 

-Quick labor and birth

-Beautiful emotions from the family watching

Mama got checked at this point and was 8 cm!  The mood totally shifted at that point, since she knew she was almost there!

Most impressive thing about this birth...  Mama went from 8cm to birth in 30 minutes!!

This is the Birth Story of a baby boy with no name.  =)  At least no name by the time I left their house that morning.  The suspense is killing me!

this moment brought tears to my eyes!  Mlisa was making good labor noises, but it made little Nic think mommy was crying. He said "Why are you crying, mommy?  I give you a hug!"  What a great encouragement during labor!

when the baby cried, Nic would cover his ears.

I actually guessed right on this one!  baby weighed 6lbs. 9oz.

He has a name!  Nice to meet you... Matteo!
