Let me show you his birth story!

I walked in right around transition, I assume.  There were no smiles at this point.

Baby Marabelle is born! . Sarasota Birth Photography

Baby Marabelle REALLY took her time making her way into this world!  Over the course of a week and a half she gave her mama contractions, mild and INTENSE!  We thought she'd come out in the wee hours one Sunday morning, but she decided it wasn't time yet.  10 days later, she quickly made her entrance.  So quickly, that I missed the actual birth!  
Drat!  
But I made it in time to see those first few precious moments of her life.  Here are photos from BOTH days of shooting...
