Julia's having a baby!

I thought I wasn't going to make it to Julia's birth, because I was booked the same evening for a birthday party.  But I was able to stop by for a bit before and after the party.  And here's what I saw...

still able to smile.  what a sweetie!

but soon, it was back to work!

labor was intensifying, so it was time to fill the tub.

Unfortunately, this was where I had to leave to get to my next photo job.  While I was gone, this miracle happened....

one happy mama!
